A Touch of Whimsy in Sterling Silver
Celebrate 90 years of literary magic with the 2025 Mary Poppins 50p Silver Proof Colour Coin — a heartwarming tribute to one of storytelling’s most beloved and enduring characters.
Struck in .925 sterling silver and finished to the highest Proof standard, this limited-edition release marks a historic moment: the first-ever full-colour depiction of Mary Poppins on official UK coinage.
The reverse, designed by Emma Noble, brings Mary Poppins to life in enchanting detail — mid-flight with her iconic umbrella and carpet bag, gliding gracefully above Cherry Tree Lane. The design reimagines Mary Shepard’s original illustrations with a modern, nostalgic touch that captures the timeless wonder of P.L. Travers’ creation.
The obverse features the uncrowned portrait of His Majesty King Charles III by Martin Jennings, signifying its place in a new royal era. With a limited mintage of only 5,010 coins worldwide, this is a truly exclusive keepsake for collectors and admirers of British literary heritage.
Each coin is presented in a premium transparent acrylic display block, accompanied by an official Certificate of Authenticity, making it a perfect showcase piece that blends artistry, heritage, and imagination.
