From Clay To Coin: The Royal Mint Celebrates 50 Years Of Aardman With A 50p
June 9, 2026
Cracking news, Gromit! The Royal Mint today announces the launch of a collectable 50p coin celebrating 50 years of Aardman, the world famous, four times Academy Award® winning animation studio.
To mark the occasion, Aardman Co-Founder Peter Lord visited The Royal Mint to strike one of the very first 50p coins and he didn t come alone. Morph, one of the most iconic and beloved characters in British television history, made the trip too, making for a fitting moment as two great British institutions came together to celebrate half a century of Aardman s extraordinary creativity.
