Vote for your favourite 2021 Winnie the Pooh 50p coin!
In 2020, The Royal Mint revealed a brand new series of 50p coins celebrating the wonderful story of Winnie the Pooh and his friends from Hundred Acre Wood. Nine coins were confirmed for the series and collectors have been so far delighted by six!
The 2020 50p coins featured designs of the main man himself, Winnie the Pooh, his trusted companion, Christopher Robin, and their small but brave friend, Piglet.
The series continued into 2021, this time bringing all of the Hundred Acre Wood inhabitants onto the UK’s most collected coin, with the Winnie the Pooh and Friends 50p, whilst Tigger, and Owl also got their own special 50p debuts.
*** UPDATE ***
The bounciest, pounciest, and jumpiest character in all of Hundred Acre Wood has been voted as YOUR favourite in the 2021 Winnie the Pooh 50p series!
Tigger is one of the most popular Winnie the Pooh characters and has a fan base that spans across generations and across the globe, so there’s no surprises he’s taken 49% of the votes!
In nearly joint second spot are the Winnie the Pooh and Friends 50p and Owl 50p, with 26% and 25% respectfully.
Who had your vote? Let us know in the comments below!
Whilst the final three coins in the Winnie the Pooh 50p series are yet to be confirmed, we certainly can’t wait to find out which characters from Hundred Acre Wood will be joining their friends on the nation’s most collected coin, the 50p.

A history of sought-after Isle of Man coins
The Isle of Man has released some truly beautiful coins in recent years, and as their mintage figures are typically much lower than UK coins, they are often highly sought-after by collectors… Continue reading to discover some of the most sought-after coins from The Isle of Man!
2018 TT £2 Pair
These £2 coins from 2018 mark 60 years since fan favourite ‘Mike the Bike’ first raced the International Isle of Man TT and 40 years since he returned to the event. They were officially licensed by the Isle of Man TT & Mike Hailwood foundation.
Mike Hailwood secured 14 Isle of Man victories during his racing career and his triumphant return to the TT has been described as ‘one of the most emotional moments of 20th century sport’.
Only 3,000 of each coin entered circulation on the Isle of Man, making them very hard to come by and practically impossible to find in your UK change!
2011 Tosha Cat £2
In 2018, this coin caused a stir on Facebook coin groups and was even voted ‘Coin of the Year’ by the coin collecting community.
The £2 was actually issued in 2011 to commemorate the fourth Commonwealth Youth Games, held on the Isle of Man for the very first time.
However the coin seemed to be overlooked for the next 7 years until it piqued the interest of collectors on Facebook and prices on the secondary market started to skyrocket!
Sold prices for the coin vary and buyers must beware of fakes, however in some cases you’d be looking at parting with over £100 to get hold of one.

Given the popularity of Isle of Man coinage and the significance of this anniversary, I expect demand for the brand new 2021 Poppy £2 Pair to be extremely high…

First-ever Royal 50p! What will the mystery 50p obverse look like?
Change Checkers, we’ve got a special royal announcement…
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has confirmed that her Platinum Jubilee in 2022 will be celebrated with the UK’s FIRST-EVER Royal 50p!
* UPDATE *
The design of the UK’s FIRST ROYAL 50p has JUST been revealed by The Royal Mint! With Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee being the first in the history of our British Royal Family, the number 70 takes centre stage on the reverse design of this 50p.
The Royal Cypher EIIR is also shown on the design of this UK first, above the dates 1952-2022, in a poignant tribute to our nation’s longest reigning monarch.
What an outstanding issue this is going to be! We’ve never before seen a 50p mark such a significant event and it’s certainly got us wondering what this amazing 50p will look like! As this will be the FIRST-EVER UK Royal 50p, we’re expecting increased collector interest…
The Royal Proclamation has also raised an additional level of interest, revealing intriguing details of TWO different obverse designs – one featuring the normal Queen’s head design by Jody Clark and a second portraying Her Majesty on horseback, in what appears to be a nod to her original 1953 Coronation Crown.
We’ve only seen this happen once before which was for the Decimal Day 50p issued in the 2021 Annual Coin Set! The 50p from the Annual Set featured the original Arnold Machin portrait which featured on UK coinage during the time of the decimal change-over, on the obverse instead of her modern one.
According to the Proclamation, we’re set to see a number of UK firsts for this coin and we just can’t wait to find out more. It’s only right that the coin issued to mark the first monarch in British history to reach this milestone, should feature a design full of firsts too!
Previous Jubilee coins have proven so popular with collectors but historically these issues have been Crowns and £5 coins. So, I’m certain that the fact the Platinum Jubilee will be the first royal celebration on a UK 50p, it will make this the most popular 50p to date, especially if we can find it in our change!
If you don’t want to miss out on this UK FIRST, which is sure to be popular, make sure you’ve signed up to the Change Checker 50p Subscription Service! You will receive every future UK 50p, delivered to your doorstep, without any of the hassle of ordering the coin yourself!
