Celebrate one of Britain’s most beloved children’s stories with the 2019 Gruffalo and Mouse 50p Gold Proof Coin, struck by The Royal Mint. This charming release brings to life Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s iconic characters in rich detail on a 22 carat gold proof finish.
This coin marks the first ever UK coin to feature the Gruffalo and was released as part of a special commemorative series. The design shows the moment the clever little mouse meets the Gruffalo in the deep dark wood — a perfect tribute to a modern literary classic.
Struck to The Royal Mint’s highest proof standard, this 50p is crafted in solid 22ct gold and was issued with a limited edition presentation of just 600 coins worldwide. It comes in its original Royal Mint box with numbered certificate of authenticity.
An ideal gift for collectors, literary fans or those building a full Royal Mint 50p gold proof collection.
