Winnie-the-Pooh Eeyore 50p now available and could already be worth more than £1,000

A much-loved character features on a new 50p coin which is available now from the Royal Mint. Eeyore from the Winnie-the-Pooh books is the star of the coin but you are unlikely to ever find it in your change.

That is because the coins are being aimed at collectors, and prices range from £10 to a whopping £1,095. One side of the new 50p features an illustration of Eeyore, a melancholy donkey, along with his name, while the other portrays the Queen's head.

The Eeyore image is inspired by the classic original illustrations in Winnie-the-Pooh books by artist E.H. Shepard, reports the Daily Mirror. The new coin is actually part of a range of Eeyore 50ps released by the Royal Mint.
