| Reverse description | Central design features a large coloured orange, rendered in the distinctive illustrated style of Eric Carle's picture book 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar', with a green leaf and stalk at the top and the iconic multicoloured caterpillar perched at the upper right of the fruit. The numeral '5' appears in white superimposed on the centre of the orange. The coloured legend 'the very hungry caterpillar' arcs around the upper periphery in multicoloured lettering, while the word 'oranges' appears in large coloured text along the lower field. The trademark and copyright notice 'TM & © PRH' is inscribed to the lower left of the field. The border of the heptagonal flan is decorated with a series of circular indentations. |

| Additional information |
The "5 Oranges" designation refers to a novelty bullion-adjacent series marketed heavily to collector markets in Asia and the Pacific, where citrus fruit motifs carry cultural associations with prosperity. These pieces are produced by private minting contractors on behalf of the Solomon Islands, which licenses its monetary authority for such issues — coins that will never see Honiara.
