| Reverse description | A colorized photographic reproduction depicting four jubilant celebrants — two young women and two Royal Navy sailors — gathered in Trafalgar Square on VE-Day, 8 May 1945, with the National Gallery facade rendered in relief in the background field. The legend 'PARTY IN TRAFALGAR' arcs along the upper border in raised gilt lettering. Below the figural scene, a colorized banner in red, white, and blue displays the inscription 'VE-DAY-80' above the commemorative dates '1945–2025' on a subordinate scroll, marking the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 220th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar, this piece commemorates the engagement fought on 21 October 1805 in which the combined Franco-Spanish fleet was decisively defeated by the Royal Navy under Nelson — who did not survive to learn the outcome. The Solomon Islands has no historical connection to either Trafalgar or the British Crown's naval history; its name appears here purely as a licensing arrangement, a common mechanism for souvenir medallions seeking nominal legal-tender status.
