Paddington Bear first debuted in the book ‘A Bear Called Paddington’ by Michael Bond. In further books, Paddington has explored London near and far with his friend Mr. Gruber, including the book “Paddington at the Tower”.
Designed by Royal Mint designer David Knapton, the coin shows Paddington™ taking a bite of his staple marmalade sandwich, taking a break as he enjoys a visit to the Tower of London. The design captures the centuries-old London landmark, home to hundreds of fascinating stories.
