| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-color appliqué portrait of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, the beloved hedgehog washerwoman character created by Beatrix Potter, depicted wearing her characteristic mob cap and apron, positioned to the right of the field. To the left, incuse decorative motifs including stylised flowers, dandelions, bees, and a flat iron are rendered in the gold-plated relief, evoking the pastoral charm of Potter's original watercolour illustrations. The legend MRS. TIGGY-WINKLE™ arcs along the upper left, while PETER RABBIT™ and a facsimile of Beatrix Potter's signature appear centrally in the field. The copyright notice ™ & © FW & Co., 2024 is inscribed in the upper right quadrant. |

| Additional information |
The Solomon Islands has issued commemorative coinage under licensing agreements with various IP holders since the 1970s, and Beatrix Potter characters have appeared across multiple Commonwealth-adjacent issues in recent decades. This piece is gold-plated iron rather than a precious metal strike — a production choice that keeps retail prices accessible for the collector gift market while technically qualifying as legal tender at face value.
