As a film and pop culture critic, I’m always surprised by what gets celebrated, but this is a fun one! The Royal Mint is marking the 75th anniversary of Dennis the Menace, that mischievous little rascal, with a commemorative coin. It’s a charming way to honor a character who’s been a part of so many childhoods.
Dennis the Menace, the popular character from The Beano comic, is getting his own special 50p coin as part of the Royal Mint’s collectible series.
To celebrate the anniversary, a special 50p coin has been created featuring Dennis, wearing his famous red and black striped shirt, running alongside his dog Gnasher. It’s available in colour, silver, and gold.
Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint, commented that it feels right for the famous prankster Dennis to be featured on a special 50p coin, and believes he would have considered it his ultimate joke.
This coin perfectly embodies everything fans adore about Dennis the Menace – his iconic, playful smile, his loyal dog Gnasher, and his wonderfully rebellious nature that has delighted readers for decades.
We’re thrilled to introduce Dennis in this special form, and we’re confident Beano fans of all ages will love this collectible coin.
This new book series joins popular titles like Harry Potter, Mary Poppins, and the recently released Winnie the Pooh books. Here’s a quick overview.
