Peter Rabbit is undoubtedly the star of Beatrix Potter’s 23 stories. Children and adults in Britain and all over the world have fallen in love with his adventures and those of his animal friends. To celebrate this extraordinary character, the Royal Mint has released an extremely limited 22 carat gold edition of the 2018 Peter Rabbit 50p coin. This is the third Peter Rabbit coin released by the Royal Mint and features the adorable bunny delighting in his radishes that were stolen from Mr McGregor’s vegetable garden. The Proof standard finish on the gold surface brings out the fine details of Emma Noble’s design, from his soft, wavy fur to his eyes closed in absolute delight.
The coin will be a keepsake for generations to come because of its strong clear acrylic case, allowing for the curious to look, but not to touch. Along with the coin is Peter’s story, bound in a matching cover designed just for this set. Both the book and coin fit perfectly into the gift box decorated with Beatrix’s illustrations.
