2018 Great Britain 50 Pence Silver Beatrix Porter Flopsy Bunny Proof

Continuing a Series that Crashed the Royal Mint’s Website

Beatrix Potter’s stories of young animals finding and getting out of trouble coupled with her bright watercolor illustrations have combined to capture the imaginations of generations of children. As children smile and laugh at the tales, their parents appreciate them in a whole new way as they share the tales with a new generation. One of the most popular stories in the series, The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies, features young bunnies who fell asleep while snacking on rotting vegetables in Mr. McGregor’s garden. McGregor captured them, but they were later freed by a wood mouse. This 2018 British eight gram Silver Beatrix Potter Flopsy Bunny Proof features one of the book’s most important characters.

• THE LATEST IN THE BEATRIX POTTER SERIES – The Beatrix Potter Series began in 2016, and this Flopsy Bunny Proof is the second of four 2018 releases in the extremely popular series.

• GORGEOUS PROOF FINISH – Each 2018 Flopsy Bunny Proof was struck on a stunning planchet of eight grams of 92.5% sterling silver at the British Royal Mint and has a stunning proof finish that fits perfectly with the bright colors of Potter’s illustrations.

• BRITISH LEGAL TENDER -- Each 2018 Silver Flopsy Bunny Proof is fifty pence legal tender in Great Britain. Like the circulated 50 pence piece, it has a unique seven-sided shape, which was chosen to make it easily distinguishable from other British coinage.

• OUTSTANDING EXTRAS – Your coin will arrive sealed in a deluxe acrylic display case that shows off both faces of the coin. That case comes in a water colored themed box that was inspired by Potter’s own illustrations along with a full color story card.

• A LIMITED MINTAGE – The Beatrix Potter series is extremely popular, so many collectors will miss out on this proof due to its limited mintage of just 45,000 pieces.

Beatrix Potter’s tales have entertained children in Britain and abroad for over a century, but nobody was prepared for the level of popularity that the debut of the coin series celebrating the stories would enjoy. In fact, high traffic crashed the Royal Mint’s website when the first coin was issued in 2016. Whether the 2018 editions of these coins match that level of popularity remains to be seen, but what is certain is that countless collectors will want to grow their collections of these beautiful coins that bring them back to the carefree days of their childhoods.
