Christmas is a special time for everyone around the Globe. And to celebrate this Holiday spirit the Royal Mint has released three limited edition coins.

These coins celebrate Raymond Briggs' classic book, the Snowman.

The Royal Mint has worked in partnership with award winning illustrator Robin Shaw and Snowman Enterprises to create the special coins.

The coins depict a famous scene showing James and The Snowman about to embark on their magical adventure to the North Pole.

Three versions of the coin have been created for collectors, uncirculated coins will cost £10 each, silver proof coins cost £65 and the gold proof coins will be an eye-watering £980.

It also bears the Latin inscription 'caseus praestans', which translates as 'cracking cheese'.
