20 Pence 2008 - British Coins Price Guide and Values
The date on the image can be different from the year selected.
In November 2008 a number of 20 pence coins were incorrectly minted resulting in their having no date. This problem affected less than 250,000 coins according to the Mint of the 136 million 20 pences pieces minted in 2008-09 and was due to the previous obverse being used with the new reverse design, meaning the year of issue did not feature at all. These coins remain legal tender and still have a face value of 20 pence.
In 2008, the reverse on the penny changed from the Badge of the Prince of Wales to the Royal Arms. In August 2005 the Royal Mint launched a competition to find new reverse designs for all circulating coins. The winner, announced in April 2008, was Matthew Dent, whose designs were gradually introduced into the circulating British coinage from mid-2008.
The beading was removed from both sides of the coin in the 2008 re-design. Each denomination shows a segment of the Royal Arms. Read more »
