The background features engraved woodland elements including oak leaves, birch trees, and a tree stump rendered in uncolored relief, framing the central colored figure. The title legend 'Squirrel Nutkin ™' arcs along the upper field, with the copyright notice '™ & © FW & Co., 2024' inscribed at the lower left of the field. |

| Additional information |
Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin was published in 1903, making 2024 the story's 121st year — an anniversary with no particular milestone attached to it. The Solomon Islands has no connection to the character or its creator; the territory is simply one of several small-nation issuers that license their minting authority to European bullion and collectibles distributors, producing silver-plated iron pieces aimed squarely at the gift market rather than any numismatic tradition.
