The Snowman™ and The Snowdog come to life on a UK 50p!
In 2022, a UK 50p was issued, marking the 10th anniversary of the first premiere of ‘The Snowman™ and The Snowdog‘ film.
The critically acclaimed animated sequel, ‘The Snowman™ and The Snowdog‘, suitably premiered on Channel 4 on Christmas Eve, 2012.
It was created with the late Raymond Briggs’ blessing and subsequently, in 2015, a book of the film was published by Puffin, bringing words to the story for the first time.
And, for the first time ever The Snowdog joins The Snowman™ on a UK 50p!
Interestingly for collectors, The Snowman™ and The Snowdog 50p features a design by award-winning illustrator Robin Shaw.
As well as being an accredited designer, Shaw also acted as assistant director on the 2012 film!
2022 UK The Snowman™ and The Snowdog
Undeniably, Snowman™ coins are some of the most popular out there, with previous issues selling out remarkably fast.
The 2022 UK Snowman™ and The Snowdog 50p was issued the same year as Raymond Briggs’ passing, making it one of the most poignant issues in the series. It was also one of the last UK coins with Queen Elizabeth II’s portrait on the obverse.
As the UK’s only official Christmas coin, it is the perfect festive gift, that’s certainly going to warm the hearts of every collector (and every dog lover) out there!
Last year when the 2021 Snowman™ 50p was issued, I gave my top tips for building your own snowman! With the temperatures dropping, we can certainly hope for a white Christmas!
