Share in the Legacy of a Touching Children’s Tale
The tales of Beatrix potter have entertained and involved children for more than a century. Few children’s books in history have enjoyed anything close to the staying power of the series, which puts woodland characters in familiar human roles.

The story has brought tears to the eyes of many readers. Now you have a chance to share in its legacy with this 2018 Great Britain eight gram Silver Beatrix Potter Tailor of Gloucester Proof.

This 2018 Great Britain eight gram Silver Beatrix Potter Tailor of Gloucester Proof is the perfect reminder of basic decency.
