Identification note: Exact KM catalog number not confirmed from photo; no visible mint varieties on this type. | Date 1968, ELIZABETH II Machin portrait obverse, and reverse with crowned lion and legend NEW PENCE over value 10 identify the large-size 10 New Pence type struck 1968–1981 in copper‑nickel (28.5 mm, milled edge). This corresponds to the standard circulation type listed in Krause for the “NEW PENCE” large 10p. Exact KM suffix/finish (e.g., proof vs circulation) cannot be verified from the photo; no mint mark or known circulation varieties for 1968 are evident, so the KM is given as an estimated type assignment.
