2020 Great Britain 50 Pence 8-gm Silver Peter Rabbit Proof

More Long-Eared Mischief From The Royal Mint’s Peter Rabbit Coin Series

Since 2016, Great Britain’s Royal Mint has rolled out a new set of coins each March that pay tribute to one of the world’s most famous rabbits, that vegetable-loving bunny himself, Peter Rabbit™. Beatrix Potter’s mischievous little bunny returns for a fifth year in 2020 with an all-new design on a special limited-edition proof that has been selectively colorized in a style reminiscent of Potter’s distinctive watercolor illustrations.

Struck in 8 grams of 92.5% British Sterling silver, this year’s release captures Peter as he wiggles his way under a fence to get the vegetables in Mr. McGregor’s garden. He’s wearing his familiar blue jacket and it’s stuck on the bottom of the fence. As most people know, Peter will soon lose the jacket and his shoes while barely escaping with his life. His misadventure will leave him naked and bone tired. As a reminder to his folly, Mr. McGregor makes a scarecrow out of Peter’s fancy new clothes. And as a final indignity, Peter gets scolded by his mother and sent to bed with a spoonful of chamomile tea.

Each legal-tender 50-pence coin in this offer comes in gorgeous proof condition, meaning your coin was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields.

Peter’s first appearance in The Tale of Peter Rabbit was published in 1902 and catapulted the naughty young bunny to fame around the world. Beatrix Potter’s story has proven to be so popular and enduring that Peter Rabbit is still one of the most treasured characters in children’s literature today nearly 120 years later! It comes as little surprise that the Royal Mint’s Peter Rabbit coins have proven to be so popular. They make perfect gifts for fans of Beatrix Potter, or to celebrate occasions such as christenings or births.

Just 15,000 of these wonderful coins have been struck, so hurry and start your 2020 collection with the fifth official Peter Rabbit 50-pence coin from The Royal Mint. It’s a coin that’s sure to be treasured by you and your family for many years to come.
