| Obverse description | Central circular raised medallion bearing the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II in right-facing profile, as modeled by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted diademed and draped. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left and SOLOMON ISLANDS along the upper right of the medallion border, with HALF DOLLAR continuing to the lower right. The date 2017 appears in the lower field beneath the portrait, and the engraver's initials IRB are incused at the base of the neck truncation. The surrounding rectangular field is finished in a contrasting matte silver tone. |

| Reverse description | Full-color photographic panoramic scene depicting the Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon in Iceland, rendered across the entire rectangular reverse field. Massive drifting icebergs and ice floes in shades of white and blue dominate the foreground, their forms reflected in the still, frigid waters of the lagoon below. The middle ground features additional ice formations with dark volcanic rock striations, while a dramatic cloudscape of billowing storm clouds fills the upper portion of the composition. The image is reproduced using a high-definition color printing technique applied directly to the coin's surface, framed by a plain milled border. |
