The Buttercup Fairy is one of Cicely Mary Barker's sunniest creations — a golden-haired sprite standing tall among gleaming meadow buttercups, the quintessential wildflower of the British summer. From village greens to rolling pastureland, the buttercup's glossy yellow petals have been held under children's chins for generations, and Barker's delicate illustration captures that simple, sun-drenched joy with characteristic warmth and botanical precision.
This gold-plated commemorative celebrates the Buttercup Fairy in luminous detail. Struck to a Brilliant Uncirculated standard with a proof-like finish, this 32mm piece is plated in 24 carat gold and weighs 10.5 grams — a radiant tribute to one of Britain's best-loved meadow flowers.
