£999.00

(VAT Exempt)

Low mintage Beatrix Potter coin: just 500 issued! This special edition Peter Rabbit 50p is the latest addition to a set from The Royal Mint, commissioned to celebrate what would have been Beatrix Potter’s 150th birthday. The sprawling collection has seen coins in a range of finishes featuring the author and illustrator’s most beloved characters, including several starring her most famous creation: Peter Rabbit. The mischievous young rabbit first featured in The Tale of Peter Rabbit, published in 1901, one of picture books written by Potter. In this 2019 coin he’s seen sneaking under a garden gate, in search of lettuces. He’ll come to regret this after being chased by the garden’s owner, Mr McGregor. The reverse for this highly collectible 50p is the work of Royal Mint designer Emma Noble and based on original illustrations. Noble has worked on a wide range of Beatrix Potter coin, starting with the first Fifty Pence pieces in this sought after collection, launched in 2016. Her designs are paired with Jody Clark’s portrait of Her Majesty the Queen which appears on the obverse or heads side of this 50p. Struck to proof standard in 15.50 grams of 22 carat gold, this 2019 Peter Rabbit 50p comes in its original gift box from The Royal Mint with a numbered certificate of authenticity. Intended for collectors, proof coins have a fine finish, achieved with multiple strikes of specially prepared dies.

Steeped in more than 1,100 years of history, The Royal Mint supplies all of the United Kingdom's coinage as well as currency for nations around the world. Renown for craftsmanship and thoughtful design, The Royal Mint also produces commemorative coins, favoured by investors and collectors.

A Millennia of Minting

Founded in the reign of Alfred the Great, around the year 886, The Royal Mint was originally one of several mints which were centralised to London in 1279. For more than 800 years the Mint was based at the Tower of London before moving to Royal Mint Court where it remained until the 1960s.

The Royal Mint has always been on the forefront of economic, technical and artistic innovation. Its skilled craftsmen minted coins that would reach the far corners of the British Empire, establishing the image and reputation of Britain for all whose pockets they ended up in.

In 2010 The Royal Mint became a limited company owned by Her Majesty’s Treasury. In recent years the Mint has struck medals for the 2012 London Olympic Games and opened a visitor centre, The Royal Mint Experience, in Llantrisant, Wales: the current home of The Royal Mint.

Collecting and Investing

The Royal Mint's commemorative and bullion coins – often minted to mark important national events and anniversaries – are not intended for circulation. They might look like ordinary coins but they are generally worth much more, thanks to their scarcity, finish and composition.

Most commemorative coins produced by The Royal Mint are available in a range of striking standards including Gold Proof, Silver Proof, Brilliant Uncirculated and Bullion. Some are also available in collectors sets. Gold and Silver Proof coins are minted in small numbers, making them rare and desirable.

The Royal Mint's commemorative coins are both VAT-free and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exempt, making them an attractive and valuable investment. Whether you are diversifying your investments or simply appreciate world-class design, commemorative coins from The Royal Mint are a great buy.

Our new showroom – opened in 2020 – is located in the heart of Royal Wootton Bassett in a grand, old bank building. Inside you can view our stock, as well as jewellery and collectibles from several local antique dealers. Look out for the Old Bank Antiques sign and come on in.

The premium is low, the stock level is good, there are many products available and the website is simple to use. The insured next day delivery option is excellent. A certificate of authenticity attached to the coins would help in reselling and add some more trust, but otherwise a good service is provided.
