Winnie the Pooh first appeared on December 24, 1925, in a short story published in London’s Evening News by author A.A. Milne. The lovable bear was inspired by a stuffed toy owned by Milne’s son, Christopher Robin. That teddy bear was named after Winnipeg, a Canadian black bear that lived at the London Zoo, along with “Pooh,” the name of a swan the family once encountered. To mark 100 years of this timeless character, the New Zealand Mint released a special lineup of collectible coins. Today, 2026 1/4 oz Proof Niue Gold Disney Winnie the Pooh 100th Anniversary Coins are available from BullionMax.

A matching Certificate of Authenticity is included with each coin. The proof finish showcases frosted design elements set against mirrored background fields.

The original Winnie-the-Pooh book was published in 1926 and featured illustrations by E.H. Shepard. Those early stories introduced readers to Pooh and his companions in the Hundred Acre Wood. Pooh is commonly described as a round, soft golden-yellow bear with a friendly demeanor. While Disney later added his well-known red shirt, the character has always represented kindness, curiosity, and a simple outlook on life.

The obverse of the 2026 Proof Niue Gold Disney Winnie the Pooh 100th Anniversary Coin displays the official coat of arms of Niue. At the center of the design is native plant life surrounded by a ring of seashells. Above the emblem sits a Sovereign crown, a reminder of Niue’s ties to the Commonwealth.

The reverse of the 2026 1/4 oz Proof Gold Winnie the Pooh 100th Anniversary Coin shows Pooh holding a honey pot close to his chest. This image reflects Disney’s classic design style introduced in the 1960s, which helped define Pooh’s familiar rounded shape and red top. His gentle posture and soft features highlight the comforting personality that has made him a favorite for generations.
