120 years of mischief celebrated on a brand-new coin
120 years ago, a book about a mischievous rabbit named Peter was first officially published by Frederick Warne & Co. This book would go on to be much-loved by children (and adults) all over the world…
Have you already guessed it’s title? It’s The Tale of Peter Rabbit, of course – Beatrix Potter’s delightful creation.
In 2016, the first Beatrix Potter™ coin was released, celebrating 150 years since her birth. It even featured Peter Rabbit™ mid-stroll on the reverse design.
This coin kickstarted a series of coin issues honouring Potter’s beloved work, including designs of characters such as: Jemima Puddle-Duck, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, Squirrel Nutkin, Tom Kitten, Jeremy Fisher, Benjamin Bunny and, of course, Peter Rabbit™!
In fact, there were a total of five 50ps dedicated to Peter, illustrating how truly adored he is to this day!
Brand new The Tale of Peter Rabbit™ Coin
The Royal Mint have JUST released a brand-new commemorative coin that celebrates the first official publication of The Tale of Peter Rabbit™ in 1922.

The Silver Colour Proof 1oz The Tale of Peter Rabbit™ coin shows Peter in his blue jacket, walking through an array of flowers and wildlife. This delightful design includes the words ‘120 years’ – the perfect tribute to the official publication date.
Strictly limited
Usually only reserved for coins of a particular theme, we’ve seen strong sell outs in the past of the 1oz Silver Colour Proof. In fact, 2021’s Alice Through the Looking Glass 1oz Silver Colour Proof sold out completely – and that had the exact same edition limit as this new Peter Rabbit™ coin of 3,500.
Plus, Peter Rabbit™ is incredibly popular as a theme; every previously issued Peter Rabbit™ 50p coin has sold out, and many of them had edition limits as high as 35,000!
A sell-out is on the cards
In comparison, 3,500 is just a tiny number, and not going to be anywhere near enough for Peter Rabbit™ fans and collectors alike.

BREAKING NEWS: A new silver 50p is coming! Will you be the Hare or the Tortoise?

Limited Number available
EXTREMELY LOW EDITION LIMIT
The East India Company are known for highly sought-after, exclusive coin releases so it’s no surprise this silver proof 50p issue will have an extremely low edition limit.
In fact, only 3,500 will be available worldwide for this new release. This tiny number will not be enough – the first ever Winnie the Pooh silver coin had an edition limit of FIVE TIMES that at 18,000 and is no longer available at The Royal Mint. Which means thousands are set to miss out.
The Hare and the Tortoise
The Hare and the Tortoise silver proof 50p will be the first in an exciting new collection, focusing on the fables told by Ancient Greek Storyteller, Aesop.
Despite this well-known fable, you’ll need to be quick to secure your own brand-new Hare and the Tortoise silver proof 50p.
The Goose that laid the Golden Egg
The East India Company have also treated collectors with a first look at the second 50p in the Aesop’s Fables series – The Goose that laid the Golden Egg. It’s also rumoured to have the same tiny edition limit as the first coin in the series, but it won’t be available until July.

Our Peter Pan 30 in 30 Campaign for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity)
Over the past few years, we’re proud to have worked in partnership with GOSH Charity, and with your help raise funds that help support seriously ill children from across the UK who are treated at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH).
However, as you know, the last couple of years haven’t been easy for charities and many fundraising events have been postponed or cancelled due to the pandemic. It’s clear they need our support now more than ever.
That’s why we’re asking for your help once again.
We’re proposing a nationwide initiative to raise £30,000 in 30 days for GOSH Charity.
Today, in partnership with GOSH Charity, we’re announcing a special colour release of the Peter Pan 50p Coins with an increased donation amount.
£20 Donation when you purchase – order yours here
What’s more, these special edition BU Colour 50p coins will only be available over the next 30 days!
When you order any of these special Peter Pan sets within the next 30 days, we’ll send the increased donation directly to GOSH Charity on your behalf. Order yours from the Peter Pan range here!
Fundraising update
So far in our 30 in 30 journey, we have exceeded £5,000 in donations for GOSH Charity! Read more here.
By supporting GOSH Charity at this time, you will help GOSH deliver the practical and emotional support that parents and families need. Your donations could help towards:
- Family accommodation so parents can stay close by while their children undergo treatment.
- Support services including the hospital’s dedicated Play team, which helps patients understand their treatment and cope with separation from peers and siblings.
- The social work service and multi-faith chaplaincy team who provide families and staff with vital advice and support.
