Marking 75 years of glorious mischief
June 8, 2026
The Royal Mint issued two 2026 50-pence coins honoring 75 years of one of Britain’s most beloved comic book characters, Dennis the Menace, the self-proclaimed king of mischief.
Dennis the Menace first appeared in the pages of The Beano in 1951 and has been causing chaos ever since, becoming one of the most recognizable characters in British popular culture. Now, three-quarters of a century after his debut, The Royal Mint has given the mischief-maker a numismatic tribute befitting his legendary status.
