The "cheeky and bordering on rude" character was one of the first Beatrix Potter characters included in The Royal Mint's 150 years since the birth of the children's book author.
It has been described by the seller on the online bidding site as "an extremely rare and collectible Squirrel Nutkin 50 pence piece."
Despite the high price tag of more than £3,000, the Royal Mint sells the same 50p coin for £5.
It is not the only time a Beatrix Potter coin has been offered for a high price in Suffolk.
A Benjamin Bunny 50p from 2017 was listed on eBay in Ipswich for £15,000.
