Flopsy Bunny is the third of Beatrix Potter’s adored bunnies to be featured on a UK 50p coin. First released in 2016, to celebrate Beatrix Potter’s 150th birthday, the Royal Mint introduced Peter Rabbit among the first ever five characters to be featured on coins. 2018 brings Peter’s sister Flopsy Bunny to the series, featuring the adventurous bunny wearing her little red cape. The coin is housed in a clear acrylic case, a perfect way to display the coin from any bookcase or mantle while keeping it safe.
The gift box also comes with a matching copy of Flopsy Bunny’s story, ‘The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies.’ In the tale, Flopsy is married to Benjamin Bunny with six young bunnies to raise. The little bunnies get into trouble with Mr McGregor when they fall asleep in his garden looking for food. The book’s cover has been designed exclusively for this set, a wonderful way to commemorate the life and talented work of Beatrix Potter.
