"Mischievous Peter Rabbit was the first Beatrix Potter character to be celebrated by The Royal Mint in partnership with Penguin Random House UK, and the blue-jacketed bunny has since gone on to star on a series of 50p coins. Each year, we’ve brought more of Peter Rabbit’s adventures to life in a series of beautiful designs, carefully selecting iconic images that recall his most memorable moments. Whether he’s squeezing under a garden gate in search of mischief or munching on radishes after another scrape with Mr. McGregor, each release featuring Peter Rabbit has been eagerly anticipated - a testament to his timeless charm and the skill involved in the meticulous recreations of the hand-painted illustrations which brought Beatrix Potter’s iconic books to life.
2021 is an extra special year for Peter and The Royal Mint as Britain’s favourite bunny hops onto a new coin, appearing on a UK one-ounce and £5 coin for the very first time. To mark the switch to a new denomination, Ffion Gwillim and the coin production team were determined to do something extra special." as stated by the Mint
