Due to its great popularity, a new collection in 2017 was announced. The Royal Mint first released a five 50p coin collection to commemorate Beatrix Potter’s 150 th birthday in 2016. For over a century, this little rabbit with the blue coat has enchanted generations with his story of adventure and escape from Mr McGregor’s garden. ‘The Tale of Peter Rabbit’ was Beatrix Potter’s first ‘small book for small hands.’ The story introduced Peter Rabbit, a mischievous bunny, and turned him into a beloved staple in bedtime routines around the world.
