Rare limited edition 2019 Peter Rabbit 50p coin snapped up on eBay
The coin was released by The Royal Mint in 2019 as part of a limited edition of 500, originally priced at £980.
The coin was described on eBay as being in “mint condition” and came boxed with a Certificate of Authenticity.
It attracted nine bids before being sold for £1,552.40.
That was before the £11.95 delivery fee.
The coin features a design of the beloved character Peter Rabbit, created by Beatrix Potter.
It was the first time a Peter Rabbit Gold Proof Coin had been released individually by The Royal Mint.
The item description from the eBay seller states: “This limited edition coin celebrates the beloved character created by Beatrix Potter and is a valuable addition to any coin collection.
“With its charming design and mint condition, this coin is a perfect gift for any avid coin enthusiast or fan of Peter Rabbit.”
The 22 carat gold coin is no longer available from The Royal Mint.
