| Reverse description | Colourfully enamelled reverse depicting two rabbits from Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit in a winter woodland scene. Peter Rabbit, rendered in natural brown tones and wearing his iconic blue coat with gold buttons, stands upright on a snow-dusted tree stump in the left field, while a second smaller rabbit in a tan coat and green boots crouches to the right. The background is populated with snow-covered fir trees and falling snowflakes rendered in blue enamel, evoking a January winter setting. The inscription JANUARY appears in relief along the lower border, and the copyright notice ™ & © FW & Co., 2025 is inscribed in the upper left field. |

| Additional information |
The "Winter Burrow" belongs to a broader Solomon Islands wildlife-themed series that has proliferated across Pacific island issuing authorities since the mid-2010s, largely driven by European mint houses — primarily Polish and Czech operations — that license designs, manage production, and distribute through secondary markets with minimal connection to the islands themselves. The Solomon Islands dollar is not a significant circulating currency for commemorative issues of this type.
Silver-plated iron rather than copper-nickel signals a cost-reduction choice aimed squarely at the collector novelty market.
