Comment
The second time The Snowman has been celebrated on a UK coin. This coin was also struck in copper-nickel and silver proof. Issue Limit: 600© The Royal Mint, 2019
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design of the Snowman, a beloved character from the children's book and animated film, instead of the traditional portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This design was created by illustrator and author Raymond Briggs, who is known for his work on the Snowman series. The coin's design is a nod to the 40th anniversary of the publication of the original Snowman book, and it is a special collector's item for fans of the character and the royal family.
