| Obverse description | Right-facing bareheaded effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail attributed to engraver Dominique Thiébaut, whose initials 'DT' appear in the field to the right of the bust. The legend 'CHARLES III · 2024 · SOLOMON ISLANDS ·' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 'HALF DOLLAR ·' is inscribed along the lower rim. The polished field surrounding the portrait gives a prooflike contrast to the portrait. |
