The Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle 50p coin is the fourth release in the Beatrix Potter commemorative series issued by the Royal Mint to celebrate Potter's beloved characters. This coin features Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, a conscientious hedgehog dressed in her washerwoman’s attire, inspired by Potter’s own pet hedgehog and Kitty MacDonald, a Scottish washerwoman. The reverse design, created by Royal Mint engraver Emma Noble, showcases Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle in her iconic dress and petticoat, making her instantly recognizable at the centre of the coin
