| Reverse description | Full-color polychrome depiction of Kanga and Roo, characters from A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh as rendered in the Disney illustration style. Kanga, the large kangaroo, stands facing left on a patch of green grass, attentively watching Roo, the small joey, who is perched atop a red wooden stool. A small bee is shown in flight in the upper field above the characters. The name legend 'Kanga & Roo' appears in a whimsical hand-lettered style to the right, with the copyright mark '©Disney' inscribed near the lower right rim. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of the Royal Mint's ongoing collaboration with the Australian licensing rights for Winnie-the-Pooh characters, this piece reflects a broader shift in British commemorative coinage toward literary and pop-culture franchises that accelerated noticeably after 2015. A.A. Milne's Kanga first appeared in 1926's Winnie-the-Pooh, making her among the later-introduced residents of the Hundred Acre Wood — Roo arriving in the same volume as her inseparable companion.
The .925 silver proof format is standard for this commemorative run, with the series spanning multiple characters across several years.
