More about the Mrs Tiggy-Winkle 50p
This special edition 50p coin was issued in 2016 to celebrate one of Beatrix Potter’s much loved characters. Based on her own pet hedgehog – Mrs TiggyWinkle and Kitty MacDonald, a Scottish washerwoman.
Beatrix Potter lived from 1866 to 1943 and was the artist behind some of the best-loved characters in children’s literature.
This is one of the five Beatrix Potter 50p coins released in 2016.
