Padding Bear 50p Silver Proof Coin
The Silver Proof version of the Paddington Bear at the Station 50 pence, is presented in a clear acrylic case. This will be familiar to collectors of the wildishly popular Beatrix Potter 50p silver proof series, featuring Peter Rabbit and friends. Beautiful colour printing brings this silver coin to life with the familiar red hat and blue coat of Paddington waiting for a train.
The Beatrix Potter series was a limited mintage of 30,000 per coin in the series, the Royal Mint has elected to make the Paddington Bears coins available in a Limited Edition Presentation of 60,000. This means that more people will have the chance to secure Paddington coins, but on the flip side means it is half as rare as the Beatrix Potter coins. We think Paddington coins will be popular but it remains to be seen if he causes the same frenzy of buying and high prices on eBay after-sales as we saw with the 2016 Peter Rabbit coin.

Where is Paddington Bear from?The most searched for bear question online is, “where is Paddington Bear from?” – the answer is….. PERU
The fictional bear from “Darkest Peru” has been featured in over 20 books written by British author Michael Bond. Paddington is dressed in an old red hat and blue duffle coat complete with a paper tag asking you to “Please look after this bear – thank you”. He sits on a battered old suitcase which has a secret compartment – allowing it to hold many more things than it would appear to! Paddington has a real love for marmalade!
