The Kanga & Roo 2022 UK 50p Coin

First published by the writer A. A. Milne, the stories of Winnie the Pooh and his loveable Friends have captivated readers since its creation in 1926. A story set in the Hundred Acre Woods, the adventures of Winnie the Pooh and his companions including the likes of Eeyore, Piglet, Owl, Tigger and others have enchanted audiences for many years.

The stories of Winnie the Pooh have become a household name in English Literature, and continue to captivate the generations of the modern day.

Enter the Hundred Acre Woods and you will find Kanga and Roo, who whilst at first felt unwelcome in the woods, were soon loved by Winnie and his companions.

Known for her warm nature, Kanga is protective of her son Roo and is often left worried when her little joey wanders off with Winnie on his adventures. Kanga grows extremely close to Tigger, which is rooted in the fact that Tigger holds a close bond with her son.

Adored by readers alike, The Royal Mint has released a special 50p coin dedicated to the dynamic duo which features original illustrations taken straight from E.H. Shepard’s designs.

Depicted on this detailed brilliant uncirculated coin are Kanga and her adventurous son Roo in intricate detail, with the mother pictured nurturing her young.
