2018 Paddington Bear At The Station Fifty Pence Brilliant Uncirculated Coin In Folder
Paddington Bear at the Station is the first Royal Mint BU 50p coin featuring the popular bear from Peru. More than sixty years after the publication of 'A Bear Called Paddington,' the small stowaway remains as popular and beloved as ever. Michael Bond's colourful character has captured hearts and minds for six decades, since first appearing in the October 1958 book 'A Bear called Paddington.' Bond has written over twenty books detailing Paddington's adventures with the Brown family, and the stories have more recently been made into a pair of successful films, starring A-list actors alongside the captivating little bear. The reverse of this cute 50 Pence coin shows Paddington Bear sat on his brown suitcase at Paddington Station. When he was found, lost, at the station by the Brown family, they cannot pronounce his Peruvian name, so call him Paddington, after the station. Artist David Knapton took inspiration for his design of the reverse from the original illustrations by Peggy Fortnum. This design is complemented by the obverse design of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. The specifications of the coin are a weight of 8.00 grams, a diameter of 27.30 millimetres and a brilliant uncirculated finish. A perfect gift for any Paddington Bear fan, which is issued in the original Royal Mint packaging. System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[System.String] System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[System.String]
