The 2017 Benjamin Bunny 50p coin was released to honor one of Beatrix Potter's most cherished characters and her classic tale, The Tale of Benjamin Bunny. This coin is part of the second series of Beatrix Potter 50p coins, following the success of the 2016 collection. Struck by The Royal Mint for circulation, it has become highly popular among collectors.

The reverse design, created by Emma Noble, features Benjamin Bunny wearing his oversized tam-o’-shanter hat, while the obverse showcases the fifth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. This coin marks the first time Benjamin Bunny has appeared on an official UK coin, making it a unique and sought-after addition to the series.
