Comment

One of a series of five pantomime 50p coins in a set from Westminster Mint, including Snow White & the seven dwarfs, Aladdin, Jack & the bean stalk, Cinderella.

Interesting fact

The 50p coin featuring Dick Whittington and his cat was released in 2019 to commemorate the 700th anniversary of Dick Whittington's arrival in London. The design of the coin was inspired by the famous legend of Dick Whittington and his cat, who are said to have climbed the tower of St. Mary-le-Bow Church in London and heard the bells ringing, leading to Dick Whittington becoming the Lord Mayor of London. The coin's design features an image of Dick Whittington and his cat on one side, and Queen Elizabeth II on the other.
