Identification note: Exact KM catalog number not provided; identification as large-type 10 New Pence is certain by date and design. | Evidence confirms the general type: United Kingdom 10 New Pence, large-size copper‑nickel issue (28.5 mm, 11.31 g) with the Machin portrait obverse and NEW PENCE crowned lion reverse. The visible 1974 date and design exclude the post‑1992 small‑size TEN PENCE type and later shield designs. Krause assigns a single KM number to the 1968–1981 large-size 10 New Pence type, but the exact KM reference was not provided and cannot be verified from the information at hand. No mintmark or subtype indicators for 1974 are present to refine a suffix; therefore the general KM type is certain, but the specific number remains to be confirmed.
