All three coin designs have been created by Adam Hargreaves son of creator Roger Hargreaves, to celebrate the characters’ 50th anniversary.

Brilliant uncirculated versions of the coins feature the latest colour printing techniques showcasing the characters in vivid colour.

TV and radio presenter Jenni Falconer, who unveiled the final coin, said: “Collecting coins is such a fun family hobby, and the Mr Men and Little Miss designs will be treasured for years to come.”
