A coin? What's a coin? Why, didn't you know?
It's a shiny, round treasure with a face all aglow!
And deep in the Mint, where the clever folks play,
they dreamed up some coins in a most magical way…

First came Gruffalo, fierce with grin,
with purple prickles and a warty nose skin!
Then along came the Mouse, looking ever so small,
but brave as can be in the face of it all.

Along came The Gruffalo's Child, sweet but bold,
exploring the woods in the wintery cold.
Each coin is a tribute to stories we love,
struck with fine detail and care from above.

Made for collectors, both little and big,
they come in neat packs (not under a twig!).
Brilliant Uncirculated, they shimmer and gleam,
a perfect gift or a pocket-sized dream.

Will more be released? Well, wait and you'll see -
The Mint are full of surprises, you see!
So follow the trail where the wild things go,
And treasure the tale with a Gruffalo glow.
