That means this year’s coin is three times as limited. To put that into context, the 2018 Snowman TM Silver 50p sold out an edition limit of 15,000. The limited-edition Silver Proof coin has an edition limit of just 5,000. The design is especially eye-catching in Silver, due to the advance colour-application that brings the Northern Lights to life.Īlthough the design may be stunning, it’s the edition limits that will be catching the eye of collectors…

It’s safe to say this coin is destined for sell-outs, given that in the last five years EVERY edition has sold out in record time. Today, the Royal Mint have launched their brand-new Snowman TM 50p coin, just in time for Christmas.
