Make space for more Winnie the Pooh and Friends coins in 2021. We are delighted to be able to reveal the next three UK 50p coins in our Winnie the Pooh and Friends Collection. Joining the party in 2021 – the same year that marks the 95th anniversary of the publication of Winnie-the-Pooh by A. Shepard – are Tigger and Owl, along with a coin featuring Winnie the Pooh and his friends together. The Pooh 50p will be available as a Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) coin in Winnie the Pooh 50p Royal Mint packs for £10 and in the blue Change Checker cards produced by Royal Mint Platinum partner The Westminster Collection. Platinum partners can buy this coin for less than 70p and it. Winnie the Pooh 50p Loveable Winnie the Pooh is the latest family favourite to be brought to life on an official United Kingdom coin series – joining some of our most popular releases to date. Christopher Robin 50p The brave little boy Christopher Robin joins the adventure on the second coin in our Winnie the Pooh and Friends Collection. Own ALL THREE Winnie the Pooh 50p BU Packs issued in 2020 Earlier this year The Royal Mint announced a NEW nine coin 50p series featuring A.A. Milne’s lovable characters from the Hundred Acre Wood. The first three coins have been released in 2020 and feature Winnie the Pooh, Christopher Robin and Piglet. The nostalgic design by The Walt Disney Company is reminiscent of the classic.
The stories of Winnie the Pooh and his friends were written by English author A.A. Milne and were based on the toys of his son, Christopher Robin Milne. The first tales were published in 1924 and soon became hugely popular. Today, the rights of the stories are owned by the Walt Disney Company.
The charming illustrations of E.H. Shepard quickly became an integral part of Winnie the Pooh's world, and coin collectors can now own little recreations of this artwork on 50p coins issues by The Royal Mint.
Nine Winnie the Pooh coins to be issued
Three coins are currently available from The Royal Mint, with six more coins to follow over the next two years.
All of the coins are issued in uncirculated format, that means it's not very likely you will find one in your loose change; the coins have not been entered into general circulation.
The first three designs and the formats available to collectors are as follows:

So how rare are the Winnie the Pooh 50p coins?
Since the coins have not been put into circulation, the value is fairly straightforward, they are worth the retail price (as shown in the details above). If you do find one in your change you should count yourself lucky and put it aside, as the 50p coins are not intended to be used.
