You can buy brilliant uncirculated versions from the Royal Mint, as well as a gift silver proof version that comes with a book. The Tale of Tom Kitten is number eight in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books, the titles of which are as follows: Somehow there were very extraordinary noises over-head, which disturbed the dignity and repose of the tea party. The coin was designed by Royal Mint employee Emma Noble. For the entire Beatrix Potter series, Noble worked from the author’s original watercolours. Potter herself was a skilled artist and the Royal Mint took great care to replicate the character and subtle complexity of the original work.

I’m afraid they are not well enough to leave their room,’ said their mother lying. ‘They have the measles and are in bed, resting.’ Mrs Tabitha Twitchit didn’t feel like smiling though. When the guests had gone she went up to speak to Tom Kitten. What a sight! Mittens laughed so much that she fell off the wall. The other kittens half fell and half clambered after her. All Tom Kitten’s smart clothes had come off before he reached the bottom.

This edition of Tom Kitten is different in that the illustrations are not by Beatrix Potter but have been created for the 1990s TV series 'The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends'. This does not detract from the tale or its visual appeal, for the illustrations have their own charm and suit the book perfectly.

It was all good kitten fun - that is until Mrs T went down the garden only to discover her kittens with no clothes on. 'Just look at you, you are not fit to be seen,' she told the kittens and took them in and sent them upstairs to their bedroom. Tabitha Twitchit took a great deal of care in cleaning and dressing her kittens for their visitors. Was it their fault that the clothes got dirty? Why or why not? My friends will be here at any minute,’ she shouted. ‘And you are not t to be seen. Go straight to your bedroom and stay there!’

Does someone remember the movie Despicable Me made by Disney. One fine movie and it had an adorable scene of the 3 girls being read a book by their despicable and conniving (adopted) father. A Simple Plan: All the kittens had to do was stay neat and clean until Mrs. Twitchit's friends arrived. Being kittens, they manage to fail at this spectacularly.The 2017 Tom Kitten is the rarest Potter coin minted in that year, with 9.5 million produced. This puts it marginally ahead of the 2017 Jeremy Fisher 50p (9.9 million) but well in front of the far more common 2017 Tale of Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny 50p coins, with a mintage of 19.9 million and 25 million respectively.
