Notable the first year this coin was minted. This is a significant piece for collectors, especially those interested in the early years of decimalisation and the transition in British coinage.
Why This Coin is Special:
- First Year of Issue: The 1982 20p coin marks the inaugural year of this denomination in British currency, making it highly significant.
- Historic Value: As the first of its kind, this coin holds considerable historical and economic significance, representing a key development in the UK’s decimal currency system.
- Increased Rarity: Over time, 1982 20p coins are becoming rarer. With the advent of King Charles III’s coinage, coins featuring Queen Elizabeth II are increasingly sought after and will eventually become more difficult to find.
The Royal Mint is the designated place for the UK to mint coins. It dates back well over 1000 years and is a Government-owned company
The orignal coinage was Pounds, Shillings and Pence but since decimalisation on 15 February 1971, it is £1 = 100p, that is One Pound = 100 pence. The coinage of the UK is also a long history, the Royal Mint being established as long ago as 886AD when coins were hammered. Today there is perhaps 30 billion coins in circulation, and many (numismatic) collectors coins and sets are issued frequently in gold, silver and other metals
