British 10p coins feature James Bond

Royal Mint has released the first ever official UK 10p coin featuring the iconic 007 gun logo and gun-barrel synonymous with the nation’s favourite secret agent James Bond.

The coin is part of a new release of "26 of the Quintessentially British A to Z UK 10p coins". Each letter of the alphabet is represented with a coin. From Angel of The North to The Zebra Crossing, celebrate everything that makes Britain so great. The 26 coins are available individually and as part of a set.

The coin is available in two different editions: the 2018 UK 10p Silver Proof Coin (£35, made from .925 Sterling Silver), and a 2018 UK 10p Early Strike Uncirculated Coin (£2, made from copper-plated steel).

The James Bond coin has a diameter of 24.50mm, a large B and the 007 gun logo on one side, and Queen Elizabeth on the other side with the text ELIZABETH II • DEI • GRA • REG • F • D • TEN PENCE • 2018.

The 2018 UK 10p Silver Proof Coin is also available in an Acrylic Block and Limited Edition box (limited to 15,000 pieces) for £45.

The Quintessentially British coins including the James Bond coin will be available in post offices in the UK and on the official Royal Mint website (international shipping available).
