| Reverse description | A seated giant panda occupies the left portion of the reverse, depicted frontally and consuming bamboo shoots, set against a rocky ground with bamboo foliage in the background; this section is rendered with gold-tone colour highlighting. The right half of the design transitions to a silver-toned field featuring engraved bamboo stalks and leaves in delicate relief, creating a bold two-toned visual contrast. The inscription 'PANDA' is lettered vertically along the right-centre of the field in gold-toned raised capitals. The composition is contained within the heptagonal coin shape with a plain edge, and the overall design conveys a naturalistic, decorative aesthetic consistent with contemporary wildlife commemorative issues. |

| Additional information |
The Solomon Islands has issued novelty wildlife-themed coinage for decades, primarily targeting the collector market rather than domestic circulation — these pieces are legal tender in name only. The panda motif here borrows equity from China's own bullion panda series without the precious metal content to back it up.
