2023 Great Britain 50p 8-gm CuNi Snowman BU in card

This Frosty Snowman Will Melt Your Heart!

Written in 1978 by British author Raymond Briggs, The Snowman is a children's story about a little boy who builds a snowman that comes to life at the stroke of midnight leading to an evening of adventure for the lad and his frosty friend. In the morning, the boy discovers that the snowman has melted leaving behind memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. The story was adapted for British television in 1982 and the animated film featuring an introduction by rock legend David Bowie has since become such a beloved holiday classic that it has been aired each year at Christmas time ever since. Now, on the 45th Anniversary of the picture book's anniversary, Great Britain's world-renowned Royal Mint is paying tribute to the cherished tale with this delightful legal-tender 50-pence coin that depicts the boy dancing with his frozen friend while snowflakes swirl in the air around them.
