50 Cents - Charles III Flopsy, Mopsy, & Cotton-Tail

The Solomon Islands has issued commemorative coinage under its own authority since independence in 1978, but the country has long licensed its numismatic program to outside producers targeting the collector market rather than circulation. This piece belongs firmly to that category — gold-plated iron is a material choice driven entirely by price point, keeping the product accessible to casual collectors of Beatrix Potter merchandise rather than serious numismatists.

Potter introduced Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail in The Tale of Peter Rabbit, first privately printed in 1901. The siblings appear only briefly, eating blackberries while Peter is lost in Mr. McGregor's garden.
