The Wombles, created by Elisabeth Beresford after a Boxing Day walk on Wimbledon Common in 1968, became a fixture of British children's television in the early 1970s — each character named after a location, Wellington after the New Zealand capital. Guernsey has issued licensed character coins prolifically since the 1970s, partly because the island's status outside the UK mainland allows greater flexibility in what appears on legal tender without Bank of England oversight.
The selective colour application is lithographic printing bonded to the struck surface post-minting, a process now standard for this category of collector issue.
