A full English squeezed onto a 10p is one of the alphabet's more playful ideas. The E coin makes room for a fried egg, bacon, sausages, beans and tomato around the letter. There is plenty to enjoy here before you even start filling an album.
Breakfast earns its place in the alphabet
The Royal Mint chose an everyday meal alongside the series' landmarks, inventions and famous characters. Its design notes connect the breakfast tradition with the long, social meals of the Victorian gentry.
On the coin, the appeal is more immediate: the familiar ingredients of a fry-up, picked out in metal. It is a light-hearted gift for someone who takes their breakfast seriously.
Which E do you need?
The design appears in both 2018 and 2019. Find the date on the portrait side. Circulation mintages were 220,000 for 2018 and 84,000 for 2019, excluding collector editions.
Make it a four-coin food collection
Add F for Fish and Chips, I for Ice-Cream Cone and T for Teapot. Together with E, they make a small food and drink collection you can build one coin at a time.
