The Tale of Peter Rabbit was her very first children’s tale to be published, in 1902, and it was an instant success. It all started with the milestone 150th anniversary of one of Britain’s most beloved children’s book authors – Beatrix Potter.
Our tale starts back in 2016… 150th Anniversary of Beatrix Potter And with it came a whole new dawn of collecting, and a new generation of collectors.
Of course, I’m talking about the 50p.Īnd whilst the 50p has always had a place in collector’s hearts – it has after all featured some of the most sought-after designs of all-time, such as Kew Gardens – it wasn’t until Beatrix Potter’s mischievous, blue-coated bunny first appeared on a 50p that our love for the 7-sided coin really took off. In recent years there’s one coin that has catapulted to the top of the must-have list for many collectors.
