Tom Kitten 2017 UK 50p Silver Proof Coin & Book Gift Set

Remember all the fun in Beatrix Potter’s eleventh tale, ‘The Tale of Tom Kitten,’ with this book and gift set. Mrs Tabitha Twitchit, Tom’s mother, is expecting company so she gets her three kitten washed and dressed in their finest clothes. But while she’s getting ready, the kittens wander out of the garden and into a series of messes that ruin all of their mother’s efforts. As part of a continuing effort by the Royal Mint to celebrate Beatrix Potter’s imagination and talent, this year’s collection brings Tom Kitten alongside other fan favourites like Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny.  

This coin shows the moment when Tom is being forced into the too-small clothing by his mother. His look of cute distress will bring a smile to any fan. Minted in sterling silver and finished to Proof standard, Emma Noble’s design is further intensified by the special colour printing. The delicate details of his brown fur and the blue color of his clothes add more warmth to the coin’s design. It’s encased in a clear acrylic box, both protecting the coin and providing a great way to display it. The beautifully designed gift box also comes with Tom’s story, bound in a specially designed cover, and only for this limited edition.
