So far, the Royal Mint has declined to say exactly how many are being struck in each design, however collectors should keep their eyes peeled if they're hoping to rack up a valuable set. In fact, one went on to be sold for £620 on eBay - much more than its original £60 price tag. This sent their value soaring as collectors clamoured to get their hands on the rarest ones of them all.īut, for the rest of us - Peter Rabbit - was the coin on everyone's minds - which sold out in just hours. In previous years, the coins with the lowest mintage figures have been Jemima Puddleduck and Squirrel Nutkin. The website goes on to explain that coins with the least in existence are often the most sought after - and collectors will often pay large amounts to get their hands on them. “When one coin in a series has a much lower mintage figure, collectors struggle to complete the set,” coin collecting site ChangeChecker explained in a blog post.
