The 2017 Jeremy Fisher 50p coin was released to celebrate one of Beatrix Potter's most beloved characters and her classic tale, The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, first published in 1906. 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 a favourite among collectors.
The reverse, designed by Emma Noble, features Jeremy Fisher in his iconic waterproof mackintosh, capturing the essence of his adventurous spirit. The obverse displays the fifth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. With a circulation mintage of 9.9 million coins, it remains widely accessible yet highly cherished for its connection to Beatrix Potter’s literary legacy.
