50 Years of Aardman
Founded in 1976 by Peter Lord and David Sproxton, Aardman Animations has grown from a small Bristol studio into one of the most celebrated animation companies in the world. Home to Wallace and Gromit, Morph, Shaun the Sheep, Timmy and a host of other beloved characters, Aardman has delighted fans young and old across film, television and beyond — earning Academy Awards, BAFTAs and the enduring affection of audiences worldwide. This coin celebrates 50 extraordinary years of a true British institution.

Wallace and Gromit
Created by Nick Park and first introduced in the 1989 short film A Grand Day Out, Wallace and Gromit have become arguably the most recognisable characters in British animation history. The long-suffering but ever-loyal Gromit and his cheese-obsessed inventor companion have starred in multiple Academy Award-winning films and captivated generations of fans. Alongside Morph — the original Aardman creation — and Shaun the Sheep, they represent half a century of stop-motion storytelling at its very finest.

The Royal Mint
With over 1,100 years of history, The Royal Mint is one of the world's most respected minting institutions. Based in Llantrisant, Wales, The Royal Mint produces official UK coinage celebrated for its craftsmanship, artistry and enduring legacy — and this release marks a fitting collaboration between two of Britain's most beloved institutions.
