A long time ago, a bear of very little brain bumped down the stairs and into our world. He loves honey, Christopher Robin and all of his friends. He is known for his hums, tucking into smackerels and for getting into all sorts of sticky spots. We all know and love Winnie the Pooh.

Bee-ginning with Winnie the Pooh 50p coin, introducing a series of designs inspired by the classic stories of A.A. Milne. Welcome Winnie the Pooh and friends into your life as they appear for the first time on a UK 50p coin.
