Please note this is a pre-order. We have ordered the coins, but the Royal Mint have yet to produce them. At present the delivery date is expected to be in June, however this may change. We do not know why they have released the coins in March, if they will not be available for 3 months.
Although we have an agreed order for 100 pieces, via a third party, the Royal Mint has a reputation in the numismatic trade of occasionally reneging on contracts. In the slightly remote event that our order is not supplied, we would offer an immediate refund, but would not offer any additional compensation over and above the original purchase price. In effect, we would be placed in a "force majeure" position.

*These are limited to 5 coins per person.
Peter Rabbit was first created in 1893, in a letter that Beatrix Potter sent to an ill child to cheer him up. She named the character after Peter Piper, a pet rabbit she had as a child.
Peter Rabbit has appeared in 23 stories - the best known being The Tale of Peter Rabbit, which has sold over 150 million copies worldwide!
Peter is known for sneaking into Mr McGregor's garden and stealing his vegetables.
The reverse design shows Beatrix Potter's most famous character, Peter Rabbit. 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.
This coin comes presented in a colourful folder.
The silver proof version of the coin incorporates colour printing technology. The reverse design of Peter Rabbit is printed in colour.
The coin comes in a perspex presentation block, and is accompanied by a booklet telling the history of Peter Rabbit.
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.
We have stocked the 2003 Gibraltar Peter Rabbit One Kilo Silver Coins which were sold at the bargain price of £320.
We also have a 1993 Gibraltar 6-coin set of crowns in stock, waiting to be photographed. The set was issued to celebrate the centenary of Peter Rabbit.
