Occasionally, the Royal mint has a mix up with the dies or the blanks used to produce coins. It is possible that the 10 New Pence dies were used on a 2 New Pence blank. If this is the case, part of the 10 Pence coin design will be outside the perimeter of the 2 Pence blank, the 10 Pence coin being slightly larger than the 2 Pence coin.

Decimal currency was introduced in Great Britain on the 15th of February, 1971. From then, there were 100 (New) Pence to the Pound (Sterling). The 5 New Pence coin which replaced the Shilling was introduced in 1968 along with the 10 New Pence coin which replaced the Florin. The Shilling coins still circulated along with the 5 New Pence coins until 1990, when the 5 Pence coin was reduced in size and was subsequently no longer visually identifiable as the equivalent of the Shilling coin.
