History and design
This is a collector version of the 50 Pence - Charles III Mary Poppins. The history below is that coin's; the mintage, varieties and collecting notes on its page do not apply to this strike.
The Mary Poppins 50p is a 2025 collector coin for P. L. Travers' nanny, who in the Royal Mint's words "first blew in on an east wind" to Number Seventeen, Cherry Tree Lane more than 90 years ago. The Mint says it is the first time the character has appeared on a UK coin. Its subject is the Mary Poppins of the eight-book series and its illustrations, and the Mint's pages note that the illustrations are licensed by HarperCollins.
It was not issued for circulation. The Royal Mint's circulating mintage figures list only the Atlantic Salmon 50p for 2025, and the Mint sold this design as a Brilliant Uncirculated coin with colour, silver and gold versions. Coin Hunter gives the release date as 25 February 2025. The Mint has published no figure for the number of standard coins sold.
The reverse is credited to Emma Noble, a product designer at the Royal Mint. She remastered an original illustration by Mary Shepard, who drew the pictures for the books. It shows Mary Poppins making her way on the east wind with her umbrella and carpet bag in hand, heading for the Banks children. The proclamation describes it as "a depiction of the character Mary Poppins with an umbrella and carpet bag accompanied by the inscription MARY POPPINS".
The denomination is on the obverse, which carries Martin Jennings' portrait of King Charles III with the inscription CHARLES III D G REX F D 50 PENCE and the date 2025. The edge is plain.
