DESCRIPTION:
During 2016, the cute and fuzzy creatures of Beatrix Potter’s famous children's books were being added to 50 pence coins to commemorate one hundred and fifty years since the authors birth. No one was to predict the coins, engraved with classic characters such as Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, and Jemima Puddle-Duck, would be the motivating factor behind a brutal murder.
