2019 The Snowman Fifty Pence Brilliant Uncirculated Coin In Folder
Over 40 years ago, Raymond Briggs penned the beloved children's classic, The Snowman. The simple, wordless and pessimistic story was never intended to be the Christmas phenomenon it became. The tale follows a young boy's snowman who comes to life and takes him on a memorable night-time adventure. The next morning, the boy wakes to find the snowman has sadly melted. Conceived to introduce children to the concept of mortality, it has become a Christmas favourite. This is thanks to a Santa Claus scene in the Boxing Day 1982 television adaptation for Channel 4, in which the boy was named James. The film is scored to the song 'Walking in the Air' performed by child tenor soloist, Peter Auty, which was later covered by fifteen-year-old Aled Jones in 1985. The Snowman has sold more than 8 million copies worldwide and has been translated into 15 languages. Now, The Royal Mint has immortalised The Snowman and the boy's winter adventures in coinage. A Brilliant Uncirculated coin with a touch of minting magic, this 'The Snowman' coin is the perfect Christmas gift for the nostalgic collector rediscovering this childhood classic.
