Dennis the Menace 50p Coin Released to Mark 75 Years of Mischief - How to Get One
The Royal Mint's new 50p coin celebrates 75 years of Dennis the Menace with vibrant color options and a chance for visitors to strike their own coin, priced from £15.
- The Royal Mint released today a collectible 50p featuring Dennis the Menace to mark 75 years, with brilliant uncirculated coins from £15 and colour versions from £25.
- The release marks 75 years of the Beano and celebrates Dennis the Menace's March 17, 1951 debut in Beano issue 452, with the comic first published on July 30, 1938 by Dundee-based DC Thomson.
- The coin's design features Dennis the Menace in his red-and-black striped top with Gnasher, a selection of colour editions, and visitors can strike their own at the Royal Mint Experience from February 26.
- Collectors are wondering if the commemorative 50p could rise in value, but many modern commemorative coins from The Royal Mint are produced in large quantities, though colour editions may attract interest.
- The release sits within The Royal Mint's 2026 commemorative UK coin series, which also includes a £5 coin linked to the Great British Treasure Hunt challenge.
