New Release: 2026 Royal Mint Annual Sets
The current market value for the Eeyore 50p is estimated at £5.00. Values can vary based on condition and demand.
The seventh coin in the landmark nine-coin series, the 2022 Eeyore UK 50p celebrates the Hundred Acre Wood’s most pessimistic yet lovable resident. Based on the iconic original illustrations by E.H. Shepard, the design depicts Eeyore in a classic seated pose, accompanied by a small buzzing bee—a motif that links every coin in the collection.
Collectors should note that the 2022 releases (Eeyore, Kanga & Roo, and Pooh & Friends) saw a significant reduction in mintage limits compared to the 2020 and 2021 coins, making them some of the most sought-after pieces in the set.
While Eeyore was a highlight of the 2022 range, fans can now look forward to the 2026 Centenary 3-Coin Set, which marks 100 years of Pooh Bear. To track how the value and designs have evolved since the very first release, visit our comprehensive guide to all previous Winnie the Pooh releases.
The Eeyore 50p was released in four distinct finishes. Because these coins were not struck for general circulation, they can only be acquired in these official Royal Mint packs.

Can I find the Eeyore 50p in my change?
No. The Eeyore 50p was a commemorative-only release and was never issued for general circulation.
Why is the mintage of the 2022 Eeyore coin so low?
The Royal Mint reduced the mintage limits for the final three coins in the collection. For example, the Silver Proof edition was limited to just 6,000, down from 18,000 in previous years.
