THE DESIGN AND THE DESIGNER
This year’s coin was designed by award-winning animator and illustrator Robin Shaw, an artist known for his lyrical hand-drawn work and a longtime collaborator of The Snowman’s author Raymond Briggs.
“The relationship between the little boy and the snowman is at the heart of the story. Starting with a handshake, the bond between them is immediate, but it is only when they hug, that we fully appreciate the depth of emotion they have for each other. It’s such a meaningful and poignant moment.” Robin Shaw.
