Product Information

There are other Peter Rabbit 50p coins for you to add to your collection, though you won't find them in your loose change as they were only issued in 'uncirculated' condition… 2019 Peter Rabbit 50p coin This coin was launched in 2016 to commemorate the famous battle’s 950th anniversary, with as many as 6.7 million entering circulation. In 1909, Potter returned with a degree of reluctance – due to wanting to develop other animal characters – to the rabbits that made her name and remained a favourite with her readers. She did so through the character of Benjamin Bunny, in The Tale of The Flopsy Bunnies. In this story, Benjamin has grown up and married Peter's sister Flopsy. Very 'improvident and cheerful', Flopsy and Benjamin have a large family of children called the Flopsy Bunnies. The story opens by introducing the family and the fact that eating lettuces has a sleep-inducing effect on rabbits – illustrated here with the bunnies asleep in a lettuce patch. One of the most sought-after coins at the moment are the various Beatrix Potter 50p collections out there.

Peter returned in 2019, but this time the coin was not entered into circulation. The design, once again by Emma Noble and based on an original illustration by Beatrix Potter, shows an image from‘The Tales of Benjamin Bunny’ with Peter Rabbit holding a handkerchief which was used to take onions from the garden.

Many versions of the 50p have been issued, but few have the potential to raise a smile like the Peter Rabbit coin.

Potter's later life saw her depart from writing to focus on her work relating to land sustainability and conservation. She and William enjoyed thirty years of marriage living a simple life in Near Sawrey, uninterested in the trappings of wealth.

There are different versions of new coins issued by The Royal Mint. The figures detailed above are for circulation coins - the examples that we find in our loose change. For each new coin, The Royal Mint issue aSilver Proof Coloured version, aBrilliant Uncirculated (BU) and the circulation copy. The 2016 coins are the rarest out there, but there have since been additional releases in 2017 and 2018, with coins featuring Flopsy Bunny, Mrs Tittlemouse, The Tailor of Gloucester and a new Peter Rabbit design. Here’s how it compares to other low-mintage designs, including other Beatrix Potter tributes, and which coins you should look out for.

There were 32 drawings for The Tale of The Flopsy Bunnies in Potter's will, which were presented to the British Museum in 1946. The group consists of 28 watercolours reproduced for the front cover and the illustrations beside the text, along with four preliminary studies for them, two of which are executed entirely in pen. They're something of an exception in the Museum's graphic collection as book illustrations have never been the focus for collecting, but such was the fame and quality of Beatrix Potter's drawings that they were gratefully accepted and have featured in two recent external exhibitions of her work. In 1903, following the success of The Tale of Peter Rabbit, came The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin, a story about a red squirrel's narrow escape from an owl called Old Brown. During a great period of creativity, fourteen more tales followed in just seven years.A further commemorative edition of the Peter Rabbit 50p was released in 2019 to mark the 50th anniversary of the coin.
