Coin recognition flashcards (1p-20p)

KS1 coin recognition flash cards for Reception or Y1. Covers 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p and 20p with Numicon, Dienes and real coin images.

The front of each card shows a large, detailed image of the coin’s reverse design; the back shows the value in digits and words, alongside Numicon and Dienes representations to connect coin values to number sense already being developed in maths lessons.

Works for whole-class teaching, small group work, or as an independent activity. Print double-sided (flip on short edge) and cut out.

Note: both the pre-2008 and post-2008 reverse designs of British coins remain in circulation, so pupils may encounter slightly different-looking versions of some coins in real life. This can itself be a useful talking point.

Supports the KS1 Mathematics curriculum (recognising and knowing the value of different denominations of coins).

This activity is one of hundreds of resources on the Tykeoons primary financial education platform.
