| Reverse description | Full-color depiction of Pigling Bland, the eponymous character from Beatrix Potter's 1913 illustrated tale, rendered in a faithful watercolor style after the original artwork. The young pig is shown standing three-quarter facing right, dressed in a brown coat and blue-striped waistcoat with a neckerchief, and carrying a small basket in his right trotter. The background field features engraved decorative motifs including small birds, flower blossoms, a butterfly, and a cylindrical tin, all rendered in relief against a white enamel ground. The name 'Pigling Bland™' is inscribed in cursive lettering along the upper arc of the coin, and the copyright notice '™ & © FW & Co., 2024' appears in small lettering at the lower left. |

| Additional information |
Pigling Bland, published by Beatrix Potter in 1913, was among her last major works before deteriorating eyesight effectively ended her career as an illustrator. The Solomon Islands has issued a long-running series of small-denomination novelty pieces under licensing arrangements that place beloved IP onto low-cost plated iron flans — functional collectibles rather than serious numismatic issues, priced for the gift market rather than the registry set.
