In 2018 to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Raymond Briggs The Snowman, the Royal Mint released a special Limited Issue Snowman 50p Fifty Pence Silver Proof Coin struck in solid .925 Sterling Silver colourised by the Royal Mint .
The reverse designed by Natasha Ratcliffe features the boy and snowman soaring through the nite sky above Brighton Pier while the obverse features the Fifth Portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
