Detailed Information

🐰 2018 Flopsy Bunny 50p
One of the rarest Beatrix Potter 50p coins in circulation, with a low 2018 mintage and strong collector demand.

What's it worth?

The 2018 Flopsy Bunny 50p is a modern key-date circulating coin. With a very low mintage and a popular character design, it trades at a significant premium over face value, especially in nicer grades.

📊

Typical secondary-market prices (excluding postage), separating circulating finds from higher-grade collector issues.

Coin Type Typical Value Range Notes
Circulated (found in change) £4 to £9 Guides based on recent marketplace data put a good circulated example around the £7–£8 mark, with many sales clustering in this range. Well-worn pieces sit nearer £4, sharper coins nearer the top end.
Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) £6 to £15 BU coins in original packaging or from sets usually sell above circulation pieces. Dealer listings often start around £6–£7, while some price guides quote low double-digit values for pristine, untouched examples.
Silver Proof £30 to £50 Colour-enhanced silver proof issues carry much higher prices, typically in the £30–£40 bracket with boxed certificate, and can push towards £50 from some sellers and recent sales.
💡

The 2018 Flopsy Bunny 50p is one of the standout circulation rarities of the Beatrix Potter series, sharing the lowest mintage spot with the 2018 Peter Rabbit. For collectors building sets from pocket change, this is one of the “big wins”.

  • Mintage & scarcity: Official figures give a circulation mintage of about 1,400,000 coins. This is extremely low for a modern 50p and makes Flopsy Bunny one of the rarest Beatrix Potter designs you can actually find in circulation.
  • Design: The reverse, by engraver Emma Noble, shows Flopsy Bunny standing in her characteristic cape, facing slightly right with paws held to her chest. The legend “FLOPSY BUNNY” curves around the top of the coin. The obverse carries the Jody Clark portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
  • Circulation vs collector issues:
    • Circulated: The big draw for change-hunters. Even with light wear, a genuine circulation find is worth several times face value, particularly if the fields are clean and the cape detail is clear.
    • Brilliant Uncirculated: BU coins were sold in presentation packs and sets and tend to show full lustre and sharp detail. These are preferred for long-term collections and often command noticeably higher prices than pocket-change finds.
    • Silver Proof: Low-mintage silver proofs (often with colour) are aimed squarely at collectors. They offer the most premium version of the design but do not circulate.
  • Error claims: There are no confirmed Royal Mint error varieties for the Flopsy Bunny 50p. Any “error” listings should be treated cautiously unless supported by clear diagnostics and reputable grading.
