A new 50p coin released by The Royal Mint is already being sold for hundreds of pounds more than it's retail price.
The Royal Mint, official maker of UK coins, recently revealed a collectable 50p coin to celebrate ten years since the release of The Snowman and The Snowdog. The 50p coin celebrating the heart-warming story of The Snowman and The Snowdog sees Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II’s portrait feature on the obverse (heads) side of the coin.
Following the popularity of The Snowman coin series, the 2022 design tells the story of a boy, Billy, who discovers the original snowman-making kit hidden under his bedroom floorboards. Billy builds the snowman and, with a little leftover snow, a snowdog. That night, the two come to life and Billy joins them on an adventure.
