| Reverse description | A full-color depiction of Jemima Puddle-Duck, the beloved Beatrix Potter character, dominates the central field. The anthropomorphic duck is portrayed facing left, dressed in her characteristic blue bonnet and pink shawl, standing beside a wicker basket overflowing with colorfully decorated Easter eggs. A yellow daffodil and a small hatching duckling are visible to the right of the basket, while an ornate wreath of spring flowers, foliage, and additional decorated Easter eggs frames the entire composition along the inner periphery. The legend 'JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK™' appears in the upper field in bold capital lettering, surmounted by the copyright notice '™ & © FW & Co., 2025'. The vivid polychrome color printing faithfully captures the whimsical watercolor aesthetic of the original Potter illustrations. |

| Additional information |
Jemima Puddle-Duck first appeared in Beatrix Potter's 1908 illustrated tale, written partly as a commentary on the naivety of a farmyard duck who persistently ignores the obvious danger of a fox. The Solomon Islands has issued licensed Beatrix Potter coinage intermittently for years, typically timed to retail gift cycles rather than any numismatic occasion. Gold-plated iron is the base metal of choice for this category of souvenir issue — corrosion is a long-term concern that buyers of display pieces rarely anticipate.
