Comment
This is the fifth time The Snowman has been celebrated on a UK coin. Issued as individual pieces, the coin was also struck in copper-nickel, colourised copper-nickel and gold proof. Issue limit: 5,010.©The Royal Mint, 2022
This strike was issued after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II but the design continued to bear the image of The Queen, in support of His Majesty the King's ambition for a sustainable transition. This ensured minimal environmental impact as the designs, tools and packaging for these products had already been produced.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing the beloved characters from the classic children's book and animated film, "The Snowman and The Snowdog." The coin's design depicts the Snowman and the Snowdog standing on a snowy hill, surrounded by snowflakes and stars. This design was created specifically for the coin by the artist, Robin Shaw, and it adds a touch of whimsy and nostalgia to the coin.
