Since then, Dennis the Menace has become the comic’s most popular character, along with his loyal friend Gnasher, an Abyssinian wire-haired tripe hound. Created by artist David Law and editor George Moonie, Dennis swiftly captured the attention of young readers with his rebellious and carefree attitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough subtle tweaks have been made to Dennis’s appearance over the years, his mischievous persona and penchant for pranks remains largely the same today as it did in the 1950s. Over the decades, Dennis’s hilarious hijinks have been captured through an evolving media landscape, from print and television to online media. The king of mischief is cherished by multitudes of generations, from new fans viewing his antics on YouTube to seasoned readers of Beano. To mark 75 years since his first appearance in the comic, Dennis now whizzes onto a UK 50p coin from The Royal Mint with his loyal friend Gnasher in tow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coin is available in gold Proof, silver Proof and Brilliant Uncirculated editions, some of which feature colour printing.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKEY FEATURES        \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis 2026-dated coin celebrates 75 years of Dennis the Menace, the king of mischief\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreated by Beano Studios, the reverse design features an image of Dennis with his furry pal Gnasher at his side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccompanied by packaging that features a bespoke comic strip created by Beano Studios for this release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDennis’s mischief inspired design is brought to life in colour on certain editions in the range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in partnership with Beano Studios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS                                     \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e                     \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cupro-nickel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brilliant Uncirculated\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.00g    \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27.30mm     \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDenomination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50p       \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e75 Years of Dennis the Menace 2026 UK 50p Brilliant Uncirculated Coin has unlimited mintage.       \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thompsons Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50881445626089,"sku":"TC07829","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/9824\/7913\/files\/343__47421.png?v=1776141849","url":"https:\/\/thompsonscoins.com.au\/products\/75-years-of-dennis-the-menace-2026-uk-50p-brilliant-uncirculated-coin","provider":"Thompsons Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
