A new 50p coin featuring The Snowman has been released - this is how much it could be worth

Coin collectors can celebrate, as the Royal Mint has released a 50p coin with a new design featuring beloved children’s character, The Snowman.

A commemorative Snowman 50p coin was first released in November 2018, in order to celebrate 40 years since Raymond Briggs' Christmas novel was first published.

This coin depicted The Snowman flying through the sky above Brighton Pier, alongside the little boy James.

This year’s design shows The Snowman standing on a snowy lawn next to James, with the backdrop of a forest.

Although the coin won’t go into circulation (due to it being commemorative coin designed in collaboration with publisher Penguin Ventures), there will be three versions available for collectors.

There will be an unlimited amount of brilliant uncirculated coins costing £10 each, 25,000 silver proof coins costing £65, and 600 gold-proof coins that will cost £980 - with only the silver proof version being coloured.
