Secure the Gruffalo® 50p in Silver Proof Quality

To mark the 20^th Anniversary of Julia Donaldson’s much-loved children’s book The Gruffalo®, a new United Kingdom Silver Proof 50p has been authorised for release.

Significantly, it has a single coin edition limit of just 25,000.

Silver Proof 50ps such as this have a rapid sell-out history, making them some of the most sought-after issues around. The 2018 Peter Rabbit Silver Proof 50p– with a higher single coin edition limit of 30,000 – completely SOLD OUT at the Mint within days and the 2018 Snowman Silver Proof 50p sold out in just HOURS.

Clearly, anyone interested in securing this new issue for their collection will have to act quickly.  

The full colour reverse design depicts The Gruffalo® in all its orange-eyed, purple-prickled glory. This is the first time the creature appears on UK coinage. The obverse features the fifth definitive portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark.

Each coin will arrive ready to display in its official Royal Mint contemporary Perspex display case and box with a numbered certificate of authenticity.

What’s more, you can secure yours today at the Royal Mint issue price of £65.
