| Reverse description | The central motif depicts Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, the beloved hedgehog washerwoman character from Beatrix Potter's illustrated tales, shown in a three-quarter frontal pose wearing a mob cap and apron, with her characteristic spiny back and paws extended. She is surrounded by charming garden-themed vignettes including a watering can, a potted flowering plant, a garden spade, a bee in flight, and scattered floral and leaf motifs covering the entire field. A decorative ribbon banner at the base of the design carries the inscribed legend 'MRS. TIGGY-WINKLE™'. The trademark and copyright notice 'TM & © FW & Co., 2024' appears in the upper right corner of the field. |

| Additional information |
Part of a broader wave of licensed Beatrix Potter issues flooding the commemorative market in the 2020s, this piece targets the collector-gift segment rather than numismatic specialists. Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle first appeared in Potter's 1905 book, based on her own pet hedgehog Tiggy and a Scottish laundress named Kitty MacDonald whom Potter encountered in Perthshire.
Solomon Islands has no meaningful connection to the subject matter — the issuing authority is essentially a licensing arrangement.
