| Reverse description | Full-color central depiction of Mrs. Tittlemouse, the beloved Beatrix Potter character, shown clutching a reddish acorn or berry while nestled within a blue-tinted flower cup or nest, rendered in vibrant polychrome enamel-style coloring faithful to the original illustrations. The surrounding field features delicately struck relief motifs of flowers, leaves, and botanical elements in the uncolored silver ground, evoking the character's woodland home. The name 'Mrs. Tittlemouse' is inscribed in a curved legend along the upper margin, accompanied by the trademark symbol. The copyright notice '™ & © FW & Co., 2023' appears in small lettering along the lower field, affirming the Frederic Warne & Co. license. |

| Additional information |
Part of a broader licensed series drawing on Beatrix Potter's illustrated books, this piece falls into the collectibles-first category that has dominated Commonwealth mint programs since the 1990s. The Solomon Islands issuing authority here is largely nominal — these are produced for the collector market with no meaningful circulation history or monetary function in Honiara.
Mrs. Tittlemouse, the wood-mouse housekeeper, appeared in Potter's 1910 tale. Silver-plated iron rather than sterling reflects where the economics of this market settled.
