It’s not just eggs you should be hunting for this Easter…

The release of book character themed coins, such as the Beatrix Potter 50ps, Paddington, The Snowman and The Gruffalo have proved increasingly popular with children, families and collectors alike, as well as fans of the books.

Celebrate Easter and Win a 2018 Peter Rabbit Silver Proof 50p!

The Easter Bunny will soon be busy hopping into homes up and down the country to deliver chocolate treats to the nation, and so we’re calling on Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit to help out over the Easter weekend.

This Easter, we’re running an incredible prize draw for one very fortunate individual to own the highly sought after 2018 Silver Proof Peter Rabbit 50p, worth £125. This Silver Proof coin is in such high demand that it is now sold out at The Royal Mint and is sure to become incredibly collectable.

But wait, there’s more!

For fifty lucky runners up, we’re offering the chance to take home your very own 2017 Peter Rabbit circulated 50p coin.

The Beatrix Potter 50p series has dominated the news after the coins were revealed by The Royal Mint in 2016. They have been the biggest story in 50p collecting since the London Olympics, proving to be extremely popular with coin collectors in 2016 and 2017.
