The 2019 Gruffalo Silver Proof Coins - when the Royal Mint marked the 20th anniversary of the Gruffalo in February 2019 by issuing an exclusive silver proof fifty pence coin little did anyone predict that it would become the latest collecting sensation and sell out within hours of being released.
Following on from the success of the Beatrix Potter character collection, Paddington and The Snowman, The Gruffalo Silver Proof Fifty Pence coin became Royal Mint’s fastest selling coin of the year and might yet prove to be Royal Mint’s most popular issue ever!
Created by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler the charming tale of the little brown mouse on his stroll in the deep dark wood has delighted children and adults the world over since it was first published in 1999. The book has currently sold more than 13 million copies worldwide translated into many languages it has become a modern classic. I’m sure you’ll agree that the Gruffalo Fifty silver pence piece is equally a collectors’ classic and one that deserves a place in every collection.
