10

 

"I was designated the number 10, in which I decided to use the ten pence coin to combine the number and a conceptual idea. The loin wearing a crown on the front of the coin resembles power and higher status as does the Queen’s profile on the other side. I decided to change the icon of the lion to a baby crawling also with a crown to describe money as being naive and fragile, especially representing recent events with the credit crunch as people are struggling financially.
