A to Z of British Identity on Latest Coins

The latest set of 26 10p circulation coins by the Royal Mint named "quintessentially British" has become very popular already. Each coin features an English Alphabet along with something unique which starts with that alphabet. All these elements are a reflection of England’s culture and traditions like James Bond, fish and chips, Loch Ness Monster etc.

It is basically an A to Z homage to all things British from the Angel of the North to a zebra crossing. The English breakfast coin depicts fried egg, bacon, sausages, tomato and beans, while the James Bond coin has an inscription “007”.
