The Beano's beloved mischief-maker Dennis the Menace strikes this bold new 50p — the first Royal Mint BUNC coin celebrating Britain's favourite comic character.
The Dennis the Menace 2026 50p is a Brilliant Uncirculated (BUNC) coin issued by The Royal Mint in 2026, part of the Classic British Comics programme. Struck to a higher standard than coins intended for general circulation, it goes directly from the Mint to your collection with an unmarked, mirror-bright finish.
BUNC coins are produced specifically for collectors. They are presented in official Royal Mint packaging with a certificate, and are not released into circulation. The Royal Mint issue price is £14.50.
As a BUNC coin, it is not a general circulation coin — it is only available direct from the Royal Mint or on the secondary market. Mintage figures have not been publicly confirmed for this issue.
BUNC stands for Brilliant UNCirculated — a striking quality where coins are produced using specially polished dies and handled carefully so they never enter general circulation. The result is a flawless finish with sharp design detail, quite distinct from coins you'd find in your change.
It's available direct from The Royal Mint while in stock, and on eBay from collectors and resellers. Use our eBay link above to search current listings — it costs you nothing extra and supports bunc.co.uk through our eBay Partner Network affiliation.
