Mrs Tiggy-Winkle 50p Coin

2016 · Beatrix Potter · Circulating

Price Guide: £3.00

Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, the hedgehog washerwoman from Beatrix Potter's 1905 tale, was released alongside Peter Rabbit as part of the original 2016 Beatrix Potter 50p launch. The coin depicts her in her apron and cap, based closely on Potter's own illustrations.

Like Peter Rabbit, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle was struck in substantial numbers for circulation and is generally an easy find, though collectors seeking a complete, well-struck Beatrix Potter set still hunt for sharp uncirculated examples.
