The world’s best-loved bunny

A book and 50p coin set presented together for the very first time

Naughty Peter Rabbit just can’t help himself, sneaking into the garden to snack on Mr. McGregor’s vegetables. Looking for some parsley to cure his tummy ache after eating too many radishes, he gets more than he bargained for. The first of Beatrix Potter’s classic little tales, his antics and eventual escape from the angry gardener, determined to put him in a pie, has delighted generations of young readers since it was first published in 1902.

For the very first time, The Royal Mint is delighted to present this timeless children’s book boxed with a gold 50p coin. The book features an original cover designed exclusively for this set. On the coin you’ll find one of the most famous images of Peter Rabbit, finished to our finest Proof standard. Gift the joy of a bedtime story children will enjoy time and time again, accompanied by a beautiful, gold keepsake.
