50 Pence - Charles III Bagpuss

Bagpuss, the pink-and-white striped cloth cat created by Peter Firmin and Oliver Postgate, aired for just thirteen episodes on BBC One in 1974 — yet a 1999 BBC poll named it the most popular children's television programme of all time. Guernsey has issued a steady stream of pop-culture commemoratives over the decades, and this 2024 piece falls squarely in that tradition.
