Are you ready to return to Neverland? First look at the BRAND NEW Peter Pan 50p Coins…
Peter Pan remains one of the most cherished and loved children’s stories of all time.
Issued by the Isle of Man and developed in partnership with Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity), last year’s Peter Pan 50p coins saw unprecedented demand, with tens of thousands queuing to get their hands on them. In fact, in just a matter of months, through the sales of these Peter Pan 50ps, collectors raised over £250,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital.
And today we are delighted to reveal the second (and final) collection of exciting new British Isles 50p celebrating Peter Pan and the best-loved characters from the book.
Whether you’re looking for the new centrepiece for your collection, you’re an avid 50p collector, a Peter Pan fan, or looking for the perfect gift for a loved one, there’s certain to be something within the range for you.
Find out more about each of the wonderful Peter Pan 50p coins we have available below…
The Complete Peter Pan 50p Set – one of the only ways to own ALL SIX coins

These brand new coins feature enchanting illustrations on the reverse design, created by David Wyatt and Matt Tindall. These include:
- Peter Pan and Tinker Bell
- The Mermaid
- Smee
- The Jolly Roger

Struck to a superior Brilliant Uncirculated quality, the coins come encapsulated and presented in an official Peter Pan presentation pack.

Strictly limited Silver Proof Peter Pan 50p – JUST 4,995 available
The coin has been struck to a flawless Silver Proof quality and features a specially commissioned illustration design. Silver 50p coins are, without doubt, the collectors favourite and a sell-out is inevitable. Especially when you consider the edition of this coin has been halved by 50% on last year and is limited to JUST 4,995 worldwide.
The FINAL Peter Pan Silver Proof 50p will be in higher demand than ever before as collectors try to complete their Peter Pan collections. But because of that dramatically lower edition limit – time is short. Click here now to guarantee your coin >>
The Complete Silver Proof Peter Pan 50p Set – the ultimate collector’s item
Last year’s Peter Pan Silver Proof 50p Sets completely SOLD OUT of the full 1,995 edition limit. And we expect this year’s set to sell out just as fast, if not quicker, especially as they have the exact same 1,995 mintage.
Each coin has been impeccably struck from .925 Sterling Silver to a stunning proof finish, and there is no doubt that these 50ps will be in higher demand than ever before as collectors try to complete their Peter Pan collections.
Plus, this exclusive collection is one of the only ways you can own ALL SIX coins in Silver Proof Quality. If you’re looking for a new centrepiece to your collection, this is it!

The Peter Pan Gold Proof 50p – the most prestigious and limited coin within the range
The crème de la crème of the range you could say. If you’re looking for the most premium and limited way to own one of these brand new Peter Pan 50p coins, then this is it.
Struck in .916 Gold to a flawless proof finish, this coin is guaranteed to popular with serious collectors. Though especially as this official new release has been given a strict edition limit of JUST 500 worldwide.
This is MUCH LOWER than other recent Gold Proof 50p releases that have completely sold out, so only a handful of lucky collectors will have the chance to own this prestigious coin.
The Ultimate Peter Pan 50p Cover – strictly limited to just 750 worldwide
If you’re looking for a unique and extremely limited way to own ALL SIX brand new Peter Pan 50p coins, then this is it.

Peter Pan remains one of the most cherished and loved children’s stories of all time and if last year’s coins are anything to go by, I’m sure these new 50ps are going to be some of the most sought-after coins of the year.
As with last year’s coins, each has been developed in partnership with Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity and for every coin or set sold a donation will go directly to GOSH Charity to help support the hospital and the seriously ill children from across the UK who are cared for there.

Celebrating Armed Forces Day!
The significance of Armed Forces Day never escapes me. Without the courage and sacrifice of the Armed Forces, the world we know and love would not exist. Whilst we never lose sight of how important the men and women of the Armed Forces are, today is specifically dedicated to showing our support and appreciation for all they’ve done and continue to do.
But this year, Armed Forces Day is perhaps more poignant than ever before. That’s because in 2020 we mark not only the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, but also the milestone 75th anniversary of VE Day and the end of the Second World War – the moment the world changed forever.
These anniversaries are amongst the most important in military history. And today is the perfect opportunity to reflect and pay tribute to all those involved.
In honour of Armed Forces Day, I’ve selected my top five military commemoratives that mark our military history and remember the incredible military personnel, past and present, who have helped shape the world we know today. Take a look below…
The VE Day 75th Anniversary UK £2 Coin
To mark the milestone 75th anniversary of VE Day, The Royal Mint authorised a brand new UK £2 coin for release. Victory in Europe Day, the day the Allies accepted the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany, signaled the end of the Second World War. To celebrate this world-changing moment, more than one million people celebrated on the streets of Great Britain.
The feeling of jubilation is captured perfectly by Dominique Evans on the reverse of this brand new UK £2 coin, which you can own today in pristine Brilliant Uncirculated quality and beautifully presented in bespoke Royal Mint packaging. Click here for more information >>
The Royal British Legion Armistice Commemorative
Designed and issued in partnership with The Royal British Legion, this commemorative has been inspired by Veterans from Bravo 22 Company. Drawing from their past experiences of their time in the military and from what they associate with the First World War and the Armistice, each Veteran created their own sketches for a commemorative design. These designs inspired this striking and poignant commemorative – a heartfelt and authentic tribute to their wartime experiences.
Importantly, by owning this commemorative you are supporting The Royal British Legion, and a donation will be made to them on your behalf. It is available to you today with a half price saving, just click here for more information >>
The Complete Victory 50p Collection
The remarkable new Victory 50p Coin Collection has been issued by the Isle of Man to mark the historic 75th anniversary of VE Day. Each coin has been struck to a Brilliant Uncirculated quality and depicts a design and letter reflecting victory during this important period – including Churchill with his iconic V for Victory gesture. Whilst each individual coin design is striking, it is as a complete set that the sense of victory and celebration really comes through.
Importantly, this is the only way you can own all seven of these poignant 50ps. Whilst a limited number will enter circulation on the Isle of Man, it’s unlikely many will make their way over to the UK. This makes these 50ps some of the most sought-after circulating coins around.

The 50th Anniversary of the 50p Military Collection
Issued by The Royal Mint, this collection of 50ps features five of the most iconic 50ps ever released to celebrate British Military history. The designs featured remember significant military events, from the Battle of Britain and D-Day to the Battle of Hastings.
Each coin is struck to Brilliant Uncirculated Quality, the quality coveted by collectors as it means the coins are free from any blemishes that you would find on the coins in your change. What’s more, the 50ps come beautifully housed in bespoke Royal Mint packaging that features information about Britain’s military history. Click here for more information >>
The Royal British Legion History of WWII Collection
The History of WWII Collection has been issued in collaboration with The Royal British Legion to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. It has been specially commissioned in this anniversary year to trace the story of World War II through original archive photographs of the time.
Together, the collection of commemoratives tells the story of WWII from the perspective of Air, Land and Sea, as well as the Home Front, allowing you to build a valuable history of the war, whilst supporting the work of The Royal British Legion in providing lifelong support for the Armed Forces community. This collection is available to you today with a half price introductory offer, click here for more information >>
