The Gruffalo and Mouse 50p (2019)

Condition and packaging set the price of a Gruffalo and Mouse 50p. A coin still sealed in the Royal Mint's fold-out card is worth more than one that has been taken out, and fewer of this design were made than of the first 2019 Gruffalo coin. Marks on the two characters, or on the field around them, reduce the price of a loose coin.

The Gruffalo and Mouse 50p was not issued for circulation, so it has no rarity rank.

Count the characters. This coin shows the Gruffalo confronting the Mouse in the wood, while the earlier 2019 coin has the Gruffalo by himself; both carry THE GRUFFALO® and Jody Clark's portrait of the Queen dated 2019. The 2024 Gruffalo's Child coin is easy to rule out because of its snow scene and King Charles III obverse. Beyond the standard coin, the Royal Mint struck this scene in silver proof and gold proof.

The Gruffalo and Mouse 50p came out on 17 October 2019, eight months after the first Gruffalo coin, to continue the Royal Mint's celebration of twenty years of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's picture book. Where the February coin showed the monster alone, this one goes back into the deep dark wood for a scene from the story, with the Gruffalo confronting the little brown Mouse. It was the first time the two stars of the book had appeared together on a coin. Once again the reverse was designed by Magic Light Pictures, which makes the animated Gruffalo films, and it follows Scheffler's illustrations, with THE GRUFFALO® lettered on the design. It was packed in bright fold-out packaging that reflects the book's original artwork and opens out to reveal Gruffalo facts.

In the Gruffalo set it was issued in 2019 together with The Gruffalo 50p, and The Gruffalo's Child 50p followed in 2024.
