| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing diademed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear below the bust truncation. The effigy is set within a raised inner circle, surrounded by the legend 'ELIZABETH II · 2020 · SOLOMON ISLANDS' above and '· HALF DOLLAR ·' below. The broad outer border features a continuous high-relief frieze of ancient Greek warriors and soldiers in combat, rendered in an antiqued bronze finish, lending the design a distinctly archaic aesthetic. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Agamemnon half dollar belongs to a broader wave of large-format zinc alloy collector issues that proliferated among Pacific island jurisdictions in the 2010s and 2020s — coins struck in bulk by European mints and sold directly to the numismatic market, never circulating in the issuing territory. Solomon Islands has lent its name to hundreds of such pieces, its monetary authority effectively licensing the series as a revenue exercise. HMS Agamemnon, Nelson's favorite command, fought at the Battle of Cape St. Vincent in 1797 before running aground off Uruguay in 1809.
