| Additional information |
Eeyore's first appearance in A.A. Milne's 1926 Winnie-the-Pooh depicted him as a permanently gloomy donkey living in the southeast corner of the Hundred Acre Wood — a character Milne reportedly modeled in part on the psychological exhaustion he observed in shell-shocked veterans after the First World War. Disney's licensing of the Pooh franchise has since turned that melancholy original into a global merchandising engine, of which this coin is one small product.
Struck posthumously following Elizabeth II's death in September 2022, it is among the earliest Solomon Islands issues to carry the memorial obverse portrait.
