Title: PETER RABBIT, COIN STAR
Post by: JeffH on February 20, 2018, 02:04:32 PM
More than 100 years since the release of Beatrix Potter's muchloved Tale Of The Flopsy Bunnies, the Royal Mint has revealed the mortal enemies of farmer Mr McGregor shall adorn a new set of coins. Peter Rabbit is one of four characters from Potter's canon to appear on change this year, also including Flopsy Bunny — the mother of the rabbits. The four designs will be added to the mint's Beatrix Potter collection.

I already have a Peter Rabbit from 2016 and 2017.
Now you tell me I need another one. :)

Looks like there are 4 x 2018 Silver Coloured coins, and at £60 each, none will be joining my collection. :biggrin:
