The Royal Mint have released a series of coins to commemorate the life and works of Beatrix Potter. The first Beatrix Potter coin celebrates her life and is available here.

The other coins in the series feature Squirrel Nutkin, Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddle-Duck.

These coins will be released in early July.

Silver Proof Colour Version

Sold Out at the Mint!

On 18th April, 2016, we noticed the mint have sold out of the individual silver proof Beatrix Potter coloured coins and are no longer accepting orders for them.

Mrs Tiggy-Winkle

Mrs Tiggy-Winkle is a hedgehog and the laundress for the animals in the village.

The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-Winkle was published in 1905 and Beatrix Potter based the character on her pet hedgehog with the same name.

Design

The reverse shows Mrs Tiggy-Winkle. It was designed by the Royal Mint engraver, Emma Noble, who has designed the other coins in the series. The silver proof version of the coin is coloured, whereas the uncirculated coin is not.

The obverse shows the new portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, by Jody Clark.

Brilliant Uncirculated

This coin comes presented in a colourful folder.

Silver Proof

The silver proof version of the coin incorporates colour printing technology. The reverse design of Mrs Tiggy Winkle is printed in colour.

The coin comes in a perspex presentation block, and is accompanied by a booklet telling the story of Mrs Tiggy-Winkle.

Mintage

The silver proof version has a 'limited presentation' of 15,000 coins. This does not mean that only 15,000 will be minted - it means the amount that will be presented in the Perspex block. Theoretically, the mint could produce millions more in a different presentation box.

We think the mint is likely to bring out a set featuring the four silver proof coins, later in the year.
