| Additional information |
The Wombles, created by Elisabeth Beresford after she misheard her daughter mispronouncing "Wimbledon Common" on a Boxing Day walk in 1968, became a fixture of British children's television in the early 1970s. Great Uncle Bulgaria is the eldest and most authoritative of the clan — the one who reads The Times and remembers the 1905 Russian Revolution firsthand, according to the books.
Guernsey has issued commemorative fifty pence pieces under licensing arrangements for decades, and this colored variant is a parallel strike to the uncolored KM#505 circulation-style issue from the same program.
