Flopsy Bunny Coins

Discover official Royal Mint Flopsy Bunny coins celebrating one of Beatrix Potter’s most beloved rabbit characters. Released in 2018 as part of the hugely successful Beatrix Potter 50p coin collection, the Flopsy Bunny 50p quickly became a favourite among collectors thanks to its charming design, lower circulation mintage and strong popularity within the modern Royal Mint series.

Inspired by Beatrix Potter’s classic children’s stories, the Flopsy Bunny coin collection features beautifully engraved designs adapted from Potter’s original illustrations. The series includes circulating 50p coins, Brilliant Uncirculated editions, silver proof coins, deluxe silver proof releases and rare PCGS graded examples.

The Royal Mint Flopsy Bunny 50p Coin

The Flopsy Bunny 50p was issued by The Royal Mint in 2018 as part of the continuing Beatrix Potter coin programme. Designed by Royal Mint artist Emma Noble, the reverse depicts Flopsy Bunny wearing her characteristic little cape inspired by Beatrix Potter’s original illustrations, while the obverse features the fifth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark.

This was the first time Flopsy Bunny appeared on official UK coinage and the release formed part of the 2018 Beatrix Potter collection alongside:

• Peter Rabbit
• Mrs Tittlemouse
• The Tailor of Gloucester

The continuing success of the Beatrix Potter collection helped establish the series as one of the Royal Mint’s most popular modern commemorative coin programmes.
