The Gruffalo™ 2019 UK 50p Silver Proof Coin

Bring home the United Kingdom’s favourite bedtime story

We normally tell children that there are no such things as monsters but families have embraced one special creature for 20 years. The Gruffalo is the magical story about a quick-witted mouse and an unusual beast that has delighted children for two decades. In 2009 it was voted the United Kingdom’s favourite bedtime story.

Now one of the world’s best-loved monsters appears on official United Kingdom commemorative coins for the first time. There are just 25,000 silver Proof coins available in this Limited Edition Presentation. Each coin features bright colour printing and is set in a printed acrylic case, recalling the original story’s charming illustrations. Make sure you discover this family favourite, sure to be handed down through generations for many more decades to come.
