In 2020, The Royal Mint made history by bringing A.A. Milne’s beloved "silly old bear" to official UK coinage for the very first time. The 2020 Winnie the Pooh 50p was the inaugural release in a three-year collection. The design features Pooh sitting on the floor with his iconic "hunny" jar, meticulously adapted from E.H. Shepard’s original 1926 sketches.
This coin introduced the "signature bee" motif—a small buzzing detail that has since become the hallmark of the entire collection.
While this 2020 release was the first time Pooh appeared on a 50p, the story continues with the 2026 Centenary 3-Coin Set, marking 100 years since the first book's publication. You can track every character release and mintage change in our complete Winnie the Pooh archive.
As the first coin in the series, the 2020 release saw significantly higher mintage limits than the later 2022 coins. These remain among the most popular gift items for new collectors.
