This latest release comes following the launch of the Winnie the Pooh 50p in September, and ahead of the Piglet coin, which is due to be made available in November.
The 50p depicts Christopher Robin coming down some stairs, with Winnie the Pooh in his hand. It is illustrated using a watercolour technology the Mint developed for the first coin in the collection.
The coins have been released a century after the birth of the real Christopher Robin, the son of Winnie the Pooh author AA Milne, who inspired the popular stories.
A total of nine coins will be released, with the collection celebrating the much-loved characters behind the classic tales.
