2022 Dated Queen Elizabeth Effigy
In support of His Majesty The King’s ambition for a sustainable transition, we continue to offer 2022 coins struck with Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s effigy.
A Robin Shaw Design
Features an original design by the award-winning illustrator Robin Shaw, who worked as a producer on The Snowman™ and The Snowdog.
Tenth Anniversary of The Snowdog
2022 is a very special year for The Snowman™.
Not only is the animated film marking 40 years since it first aired in 1982, but it is also the tenth anniversary of its much-loved sequel The Snowman™ and The Snowdog. To celebrate, this year’s festive UK 50p coin, the fifth to be released in our Snowman coin series, will feature The Snowdog for the first time.
This year’s festive coin is also particularly poignant following the death of The Snowman’s beloved creator, acclaimed author, and illustrator Raymond Briggs CBE in August.
He was an inspiration to many, including award-winning illustrator and animator Robin Shaw, who was assistant director on The Snowman and The Snowdog and who created this year’s reverse design.
The Snowman and The Snowdog 50p coin release
This coin is a limited edition release. The design is by Robin Show and features the snowman and his new friend, who becomes his best friend after they meet on Christmas Eve.

The character of the snowman is based on a book by Raymond Briggs that was adapted into an animated short film in 1982.
Raymond Briggs is an author who wrote a book called The Snowman.
The book was adapted into an animated short film in 1982. The film was later adapted into a feature-length film in 2012.
The character of the snowman is based on the book, which features a boy and his snowman friend named “Frosty”.
In 2012 a sequel was made called The Snowman and The Snowdog
The 24-minute film, taking nearly two years to complete, cost £2 million to produce and, like the original movie, was created from over 200,000 hand-drawn images.
