Winnie the Pooh made his literary debut on December 24, 1925, in a story written by A.A. Milne for Londons Evening News. The character was inspired by a teddy bear owned by Milnes son, Christopher Robin. That toy was named after Winnipeg, a Canadian black bear at the London Zoo, along with Pooh, the name of a swan the family once encountered. In honor of 100 years of Winnie the Pooh, the New Zealand Mint issued a special series of collectible coins. Right now, 2026 Proof Niue Disney Winnie The Pooh 100th Anniversary 1/4 oz Gold Coins are available at Provident Metals.

Obverse

The obverse of the 2026 Proof Niue Disney Winnie The Pooh 100th Anniversary Gold Coin displays the official coat of arms of Niue. Native plant life appears at the center of the design, framed by a ring of seashells. A Sovereign crown sits above the emblem, symbolizing Niues connection to the Commonwealth.

History

The original Winnie-the-Pooh book was published in 1926 and featured illustrations by E.H. Shepard. These stories introduced readers to Pooh and his companions living in the Hundred Acre Wood. Pooh is known for his round shape, soft coloring, and kind personality. Though Disney later added his red shirt, the character has always represented a gentle and thoughtful nature.
