| Obverse description | Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing a diamond diadem and drop earrings, rendered in high relief in antique bronze finish. The portrait is attributed to Ian Rank-Broadley (IRB), with the engraver's initials appearing below the bust. The legend 'ELIZABETH II · 2020 · SOLOMON ISLANDS' arcs around the upper portion of the inner circle, while '· HALF DOLLAR ·' is inscribed along the lower arc. Surrounding the central portrait medallion is an elaborate decorative border composed of stylized human figures in ancient attire arranged in a continuous frieze around the entire coin field, rendered in bold relief against the antique-finished ground. |

The "Helen" designation places this within the Solomon Islands' series of large-format zinc alloy pieces issued through secondary market distributors rather than for domestic circulation — a category produced almost entirely for the collector trade, with no meaningful monetary function in the islands themselves.
