Celebrate another much-loved character from Beatrix Potter’s timeless stories with the 2018 UK Flopsy Bunny 50p coin. Issued as part of the third series in the popular Beatrix Potter collection, this coin brings gentle charm and storytelling to UK coinage.

The reverse design by Emma Noble features Flopsy Bunny facing forward, captured with delicate detail and a soft, characterful expression inspired by Potter’s original illustrations. Dressed in her familiar little jacket, Flopsy is presented in a simple and elegant composition, with the inscription ‘FLOPSY BUNNY’ completing the design. The artwork reflects the character’s role in the 1909 tale, where Flopsy and her family set out in search of food, leading to a memorable adventure.

The obverse features the fifth portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark, showing the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem. This portrait appears on all UK circulating coins of the period and is noted for its fine detail.

Struck in cupro-nickel to standard 50p specifications, the coin weighs 8 grams and measures 27.30 millimetres in diameter. It features the distinctive seven-sided shape and a plain edge.

Issued in 2018, the Flopsy Bunny 50p is the second coin in the third Beatrix Potter series. Closely connected to earlier characters such as Benjamin Bunny, this release adds depth to the collection and is especially appealing to collectors seeking to complete the full Beatrix Potter set.
