The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis Celebrate a Magical Masterpiece
First published in 1950, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe has enthralled many generations of readers for more than 70 years.
The second book in C. S. Lewis’ classic fantasy series, The Chronicles of Narnia, tells the story of the Pevensie siblings as they step through a wardrobe and enter the magical realm of Narnia.
Part of our classic children’s literature series, this UK 50p coin pays tribute to Lewis’ masterpiece and its reverse features an illustration by Pauline Baynes from the original publication of the book.
