Brand new 2018 Beatrix Potter 50p coins announced!

By Change Checker | February 19, 2018 |

After the unbelievable success of the 2016 and 2017 Beatrix Potter 50p series, many people would’ve been hoping for, perhaps even anticipating, more coins in 2018.

Well, I’m delighted to tell you that another four Beatrix Potter designs have just been announced by The Royal Mint!

The best news is that the 2018 Peter Rabbit 50p is available to order in BU quality TODAY!

So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the delightful characters that’ll grace the 2018 Beatrix Potter 50p series:

Peter Rabbit

This is the third Peter Rabbit 50p to be released by The Royal Mint and is the only character to feature in each of the Beatrix Potter series.

The 2018 design show an iconic image of Peter Rabbit munching on radishes, the reason for his near-miss in Mr Mcgregor’s garden!

Flopsy Bunny

Flopsy Bunny is the next character in the 2018 series. She is, in fact, married to Benjamin Bunny who featured in the 2017 series.

The design for Flopsy Bunny places the little rabbit centre stage, with Flopsy characteristically dressed in her little jacket.

The Tailor of Gloucester

The Taylor of Gloucester coin features an iconic image from the book. One of the helpful little mice sits crossed legged on a reel or skein of ‘twist’, complete with miniature spectacles and newspaper.

Mrs Tittlemouse

Mrs Tittlemouse carries the basket she uses to gather her dinner. The finest of details, like the mouse’s tiny whiskers and beady eye, have been captured on the coin’s small surface.

The reverse of all the 2018 Beatrix Potter 50p coins have been designed by Emma Noble who’s designs have featured on a number of other Royal Mint coins.

So, if you’re looking forward to collecting these fantastic new coins, let us know by leaving a comment on this blog.

    I’ve received the Peter Rabbit 2018, but when I ordered it, I was not offered the chance to order the other 3. Please can you put them on order for me please.

    Are you doing a collectors folder as last year, We purchased a folder for 4 B but Peter Rabbit came in the folder?

    Have ordered the Peter Rabbit fifty pence coin but had no link to order the other three coins can someone please contact me on the phone number you hold on my account. The last time I ordered the 2017 coins I had to find a premium rate number to have it sorted out.

    When are the 2nd batch of beatrix potter 50p being released into circulation as I have the first lot just waiting on the 2nd think I’ve got one of the second ones .?



    • Luke Hearn on February 19, 2018 at 2:47 pm

      Hi Michelle, I can confirm that all the 2017 Beatrix Potter coins are in circulation, including Jeremy Fisher, however it seems as though they are taking a while to distribute widely. The mintage figures for these coins are high so it should only be a matter of time. Thanks Luke



  10. Des on February 19, 2018 at 1:28 pm

    I’ve pre-ordered mine and yeah they are bringing too many out at once hopefully will calm down soon haha, can’t keep up



  11. Rob on February 19, 2018 at 1:19 pm

    Awesome, can’t wait to see Jemima Puddleduck?. Any idea when and if others characters will be released?



    • Luke Hearn on February 19, 2018 at 2:45 pm

      Hi Rob, Obviously Peter Rabbit is available from today but the other three coins will be released as follows:
      – Flopsy Bunny: March
      – The Tailor of Gloucester: April
      – Mrs Tittlemouse: May
      Thanks
      Luke



  12. James on February 19, 2018 at 11:02 am

    Amazing news 🙂
    When do the mintage figures normally get released?



    • Luke Hearn on February 19, 2018 at 12:15 pm

      Hi James, It’s usually a few months after the final coin has been released into circulation, although The Mint made the decision to release the mintages early last year. We will, of course, let you know as soon as anything is confirmed. Thanks Luke



  13. Wendy on February 19, 2018 at 10:12 am

    I would love the set



  14. Matthew on February 19, 2018 at 10:02 am

    Have you found out when Jeremy Fisher is going to be released into circulation?



    • Luke Hearn on February 19, 2018 at 12:13 pm

      Hi Matthew, Nothing yet i’m afraid. as soon as we hear anything, we’ll let you know. Thanks Luke
