Mrs Tiggy-Winkle 50p

Current Market Value

The Mrs Tiggy-Winkle 50p coin, released in 2016 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Beatrix Potter's birth, is one of the popular Beatrix Potter commemorative series. With a mintage of 8,800,000 coins, it's relatively common and can still be found in circulation, though many collectors keep them when spotted.

Circulated coins typically sell for £1 to £2.50, depending on condition. This represents 2-5 times face value, making it a worthwhile find in your change. Well-worn examples may fetch around £1, while near-mint circulated specimens can command up to £2.50.

Uncirculated coins from official Royal Mint packaging generally sell between £4 and £5. These coins show no signs of wear and maintain their original lustre, often found in the special Mrs Tiggy-Winkle presentation folders.

Silver Proof versions with colour printing were limited to 15,000 pieces and typically command prices ranging from £25 to £40 or more, depending on condition and packaging.

Factors Affecting Value

• Condition: Coins in mint or near-mint condition are worth significantly more than worn examples
• Packaging: Original Royal Mint presentation folders and packaging add considerable value
• Demand: As part of the highly popular Beatrix Potter series, demand remains strong among collectors
• Series Appeal: Collectors often seek complete sets of Beatrix Potter coins, increasing demand

Should You Sell Your Mrs Tiggy-Winkle 50p?

The Mrs Tiggy-Winkle 50p holds decent value compared to many modern commemoratives, but it's generally more valuable as part of a complete Beatrix Potter collection. The series is one of the most popular 50p coin series ever released, so completing the set often brings more satisfaction (and value) than selling individual coins. If you find one in excellent condition in your change, it's definitely worth keeping.
