My weird hobby no. 5

It's been a long time coming this post like but I am so so so so sooooo excited to share it with all. For those who don't know or who haven't read my previous posts about this subject, I collect coins. That is my weird hobby. I am a proud coin collector.

Since I published number four of this series, it has grown quite a bit since our last encounter.
Like before, I will include what the coin design is for and separate them into categories [£2, 50ps, London Olympic 50ps and complete sets], to make it easier for you. It will only include the coins I have acquired since the last time I posted so if you want to see all my other coins, then check out my previous posts!

So get ready for my weird hobby no. 5...

£2

T-B:

50ps

L-R:

250th Anniversary of Royal Botanic Gardens [2009] [Copy coin] - The real coin is one of the rarest [if not the rarest] coin as there's only 200,000 [I think] or so of them in circulation, so getting your hands on a real one is hard, so I am buzzing that I have one of these, it's my favourite design of any coin, even mine is just a copy. -

Tom Kitten

The Tale of Peter Rabbit

Benjamin Bunny

Mr. Jeremy Fisher

Finished sets

...

These are the coins that are for a particular thing [to celebrate something most likely], and they make a set. The set can be made up of any amount of coins, here are the two I have completed.

...

This three piece coin set is to celebrate Shakespeare and his work, with each of them representing his work [Comedies, Tragedies, Histories].

The final complete set is this 50p Peter Rabbit collection, celebrating the much loved author Beatrix Potter. They were created as a way to celebrate the 150year of her birth. Fun fact: they are the first of children's literature to feature on UK coins.

...

And there we go, I have a whopping £102.30 in my collection now and that makes me so damn happy!

Until next time
