| Reverse description | Central depiction of Flopsy, the rabbit character from Beatrix Potter's tales, seated upright on a tree stump and holding a wicker basket, rendered in high relief in the illustrative style of the original Potter drawings. The surrounding field is richly detailed with ferns, foxglove plants, small mushrooms, and a bee in flight, with a single daisy flower at the top of the field. The name 'FLOPSY' with trademark symbol appears in large letters to the upper left, and the copyright inscription '™ & © FW & Co., 2023' is engraved vertically along the right margin. |

| Additional information |
Pitcairn's numismatic output is almost entirely collector-driven — the island's population has hovered around 40 to 50 people for decades, far too small to sustain a circulating economy of any scale. This 2023 issue featuring Beatrix Potter's Flopsy follows the Royal Mint's long-running 50p Potter series, which began in the UK in 2016 and spawned numerous licensed territorial variants. The Pitcairn attribution is a licensing arrangement, not a reflection of local monetary use.
