It’s that time of year again — the nights are drawing in, the air’s getting crisp, and The Royal Mint has just sprinkled a little festive magic over the collecting world with the release of the 2025 Silver Proof Coloured Snowman 50p Coin.
Since its debut, The Snowman coin series has become a cherished Christmas tradition for collectors and fans of the much-loved short film alike. This year’s edition, designed by award-winning illustrator Robin Shaw, captures the heartwarming nostalgia of Raymond Briggs’ timeless story — a tale that has been part of British festive culture for generations.

The coin itself is struck to Proof quality in 0.925 sterling silver, and features vibrant colour detailing that brings the Snowman to life in stunning detail. Each 50p piece contains 0.2379 troy ounces of pure silver, with a total weight of 8 grams and a diameter of 27.30mm. With only 5,000 coins available in Limited Edition Presentation, this release is bound to sell out quickly — especially given the popularity of previous years’ designs.
Each coin comes housed in a beautifully decorated perspex display block, perfectly showcasing the coin’s artwork, and is accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity. It’s not just a collector’s item — it’s a keepsake, something to bring out every Christmas and enjoy for years to come.
