The collectable 50p coin is the latest to celebrate the childhood classic, following the release of three last year.
The Royal Mint has revealed a new 50p collectable coin featuring Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends Piglet, Owl, Eeyore, Rabbit, Tigger, Kanga and Roo.
The design of the coin is inspired by the original illustrations of EH Shepard taken from the pages of AA Milne's classic tales, first published in 1926. It is available to buy in gold, silver, brilliant uncirculated, and special-edition colour versions, with prices ranging from £10 to £1,065. The first three designs in the Winnie-the-Pooh and Friends collection were released last year, featuring Winnie-the-Pooh, Christopher Robin and Piglet.The Royal Mint's designer Daniel Thorne, who is behind the nine-coin Winnie-the-Pooh series, said:"Using inspiration from the original decorations of EH Shepard has been a fantastic experience but one that has also tested me as a designer.
