"10p" typically refers to a ten pence coin used in the currency of the United Kingdom. It is part of the British decimal currency system, which was introduced in 1971. The coin is made of nickel-brass and features the image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side, while the reverse side displays a design that represents the Royal Arms or other symbols. The 10p coin is commonly used in everyday transactions, such as purchasing small items or contributing to public transport fares. It is one of the smaller denominations in circulation, alongside other coins like the 1p, 2p, and 5p coins.
