The Snowman Novel

Raymond Briggs authored 'The Snowman,' which was first published in 1978. The book tells its story entirely through illustrations, without any words. In 1982, it was adapted into an animated film, first premiering on Channel 4 and has remained a cherished Christmas classic ever since.

What Was Robin Shaw’s Involvement in the Snowman?

Robin Shaw was directly involved as an assistant director on The Snowman and The Snowdog, the 2012 sequel to the original 1982 animated film.

What Is a Proof Coin?

A proof coin is a type of coin that is produced using a specific minting process that results in a highly polished surface and intricate design details. Proof coins are typically produced in limited quantities and may feature unique packaging, certificates of authenticity, or other distinguishing characteristics that set them apart from standard coins.

Obverse

The obverse of the coin shows the King Charles III uncrowned portrait by Martin Jennings.

This coin bears the legend:

· CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 50 PENCE · 2024 ·

Reverse

The two main characters from the short film are depicted together: the Snowman is wrapped in Christmas tree lights, while the young boy, looks at him. In the background, a Christmas tree and falling snow complete the festive scene.
