The Tailor of Gloucester 50p Coin

· Beatrix Potter · Circulating

Price Guide: £3.00

The Tailor of Gloucester 50p depicts the mice who secretly finish a tailor's waistcoat overnight in Beatrix Potter's 1903 Christmas tale - one of the more narratively distinctive entries in the Royal Mint's Beatrix Potter series, since it centres on the mice rather than a single named animal character.

It was struck for general circulation alongside the rest of the series and is an accessible addition to a Beatrix Potter 50p collection.
