I smell a smell of honey; is it the cowslips outside, in the hedge? I am sure I can see the marks of little dirty feet.” Oh deary me, never did I see such a smeary, honey-ish, mossy-ish, thistle-downy mess!’ she cried. ‘And such big, dirty, toad footprints - all over my nice clean storeroom! It will take me a long time to tidy this up!’ The Obverse design is that of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Jody Clark. At the age of 33, Jody Clark was the youngest person to design the monarch’s profile on this currency. Jody Clark was also the first Royal Mint employee to design a UK definitive coin portrait in more than 100 years. He had only been working at The Royal Mint for about two years prior. The new design would be the first time her portrait had been changed in 17 years.

The Flopsy Bunnies slept...and slept...and slept. They slept so deeply that they didn’t wake when a little mouse with a very long tail, called Thomasina Tittlemouse, rustled the paper bag on Benjamin Bunny’s face and woke him up. He sat outside in the sun, and said—”Tiddly, widdly, widdly! Your very good health, Mrs. Tittlemouse!” All the 2018 Beatrix Potter 50p coins had a relatively low mintage with the rarest 50p coins in the Beatrix Potter series being the 2018 Peter Rabbit and the 2018 Flopsy Bunny 50p coin, which both have a mintage of 1.4 million. To complete the series that year, the 2018 Tailor of Gloucester 50p had a mintage of just 1.7 million, In the 1890s, she and her brother started printing Christmas cards using their own designs. Many of the cards featured mice and rabbits. In 1890, a printing firm bought several of her drawings of a rabbit she had dubbed Benjamin Bunny to illustrate verses in A Happy Pair.

Beatrix Potter had in her youth made beautiful microscopic studies of insects, and this knowledge enabled her to produce delightful pictures of the many uninvited guests, from spiders to bees, found in Mrs. Tittlemouse's underground home. Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some bees-wax. But what are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and say, Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz?” Mrs. Tittle-mouse began to get cross.

So they handed him out acorn-cupfuls of honey-dew through the window, and he was not at all offended. Her full name was Helen Beatrix Potter. Even though she had no children of her own, Beatrix Potter was a famous writer of children’s books. Before she married later in life at the age of 47, this author self-published her first of thirty books in 1902. Her famous books included a much-loved character named Peter Rabbit. Beatrix also had a love for science, land preservation, and watercolor painting. For reference, the 2016 Jemima 50p coin had a mintage of 2.1 million, the Mrs Tiggy-Winkle 50p coin had a mintage of 8.8 million, the 2016 Peter Rabbit 50p coin had a mintage of 9.7 million and the 2016 Beatrix Potter 50p coin had a mintage of 6.9 million. This is part of the third series of Beatrix Potter 50ps, following the highly popular 2016 and 2017 releases that coin collectors loved. The coin is part of a beloved series featuring characters from the author’s children’s books. This coin features Mrs. Tittlemouse. It is the first and only official UK coin to feature Mrs. Tittlemouse, and it is the final coin in the third and last of the Beatrix Potter series. How Much is the Mrs Tittlemouse 50p Coin Worth?
