Peter Rabbit Coin
‘The Tale of Peter Rabbit’™
is one of the best-loved children’s stories of all time although Beatrix
Potter did not find it easy to have the book published. The book was
rejected by six publishers and it was not until Beatrix Potter decided to
print the book herself that Frederick Warne agreed to publish it in 1902.
The story has since become one of the most famous stories ever written.
The design on this coin
depicts an image of Peter Rabbit taken from Peter Rabbit’s Almanac 1929.
and shows Peter himself carrying a shovel and trug (a gardening basket)
surrounded by plants. This superb coin is produced in cupro nickel in a
colour pack, proof sterling silver, fine silver and proof fine gold. The
cupro nickel, silver $10 and $100 gold will be available in colour which
really brings this delightful character to life. Additionally, for the
first time, this beautiful piece will be available in 1/4oz fine silver
both coloured and uncoloured and, also as a 1/10oz fine silver coin.
Each precious metal coin
has been struck four times to produce a lustrous finish with each coin
detailed to perfection. The obverse carries a fine effigy of Her Majesty
Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS FSNAD.
