| Reverse description | A boldly rendered American Bald Eagle with wings fully outstretched and talons extended dominates the central field in high relief, depicted in a dramatic landing pose. Behind the eagle, radiating sunburst lines emanate from a central point, rendered in a coloured iridescent finish transitioning from deep violet and black in the lower half to golden yellow in the upper half, creating a striking polychrome effect. The eagle's plumage is finely detailed, with individually engraved feathers across the wings and breast. The composition is set within an oval shield-shaped inner field, itself surrounded by the same elaborate openwork annular border of interlocking five-pointed stars in gold-plated filigree as found on the obverse. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse. |

| Additional information |
The Solomon Islands has functioned as a prolific licensing issuer for decades, contracting with private mints — primarily in Europe — to produce commemorative pieces bearing its nominal authority. This coin carries no meaningful connection to Solomon Islands monetary history; the denomination exists purely to satisfy legal tender formalities required for marketing purposes.
The American Eagle motif appearing on a Solomon Islands issue is a straightforward licensing arrangement, almost certainly produced by a European mint under contract.
