In 2017 there was a second Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny, Jeremy Fisher and Tom Kitten coins.
The first Beatrix Potter 50p Coin was issued in 2016 to honour the anniversary of Beatrix Potters birth, along with a Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle-duck, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle and Squirrel Nutkin coins. Here are all the 50p Literary coins I have collected so far…īeatrix Potter was an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist and conservationist, best known for her children’s books featuring animals. I decided on sticking to themes for my coin collections but unfortunately for my bank account, more and more coins are being released with literary connections every year.
I collect circulated and uncirculated 10p, 50p, and £2 coins from the U.K., Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Guernsey, and Bailiwick of Jersey. I’ve been collecting Literary and Science themed coins for the last several years.
