The Royal Mint has once again sprinkled a little magic into its latest collection, unveiling a limited edition series of coins celebrating the beloved children’s classic – Mary Poppins. This latest release pays tribute to one of the most iconic characters in British literary and cinematic history, honouring the whimsical world first created by P. L. Travers and immortalised on screen by Julie Andrews in the timeless 1964 film.
A Spoonful of Nostalgia
The new coins feature a charming design capturing Mary Poppins and her iconic parrot-headed umbrella, drifting gracefully over the rooftops of London. The intricate artwork has been beautifully crafted by the Royal Mint’s designers, blending storytelling with craftsmanship to create a collectible piece that is sure to delight fans and numismatists alike.
As part of The Royal Mint’s commitment to celebrating British cultural icons, the Mary Poppins limited edition series joins a prestigious line-up of coins commemorating beloved works of literature, cinema, and entertainment.

Celebrating British Storytelling
Rebecca Morgan, Director of Collector Services at The Royal Mint, highlighted the significance of the release, stating:
“Mary Poppins is a character cherished across generations, capturing hearts with her sense of adventure, wonder, and imagination. We are delighted to honour her legacy with a stunning coin that brings her magic to life for collectors and fans.”
