Dear Royal Mint,

I was wondering if you would be able to tell me how many of the Peter Rabbit 50ps, including all of the characters are currently in circulation? And if possible can you break this down into each character.

Additionally, how many of these coins have been release each year? From their first year of release until this year. Thank you.
