| Beschrijving keerzijde | Highly detailed high-relief depiction of Odysseus, the legendary hero of Homer's Odyssey, shown in dynamic kneeling pose drawing a large recurved bow with full extension, clad in scale armour and sandals. In the background, a classical Greek galley with oars and rigging is rendered in lower relief, evoking the hero's seafaring odyssey. The composition is bordered by a broad Greek meander (key) pattern encircling the entire design. The vertical inscription ODYSSEUS appears along the left field in incuse Latin lettering. |

The Odysseus half dollar belongs to a wave of large-format zinc alloy issues that the Solomon Islands monetary authority licensed to European minting houses — primarily for the collector market — beginning in the 2010s. The islands have no meaningful connection to Homeric legend; the subject was chosen entirely for commercial appeal in European and North American collector markets.
KM# 1021 was struck by or for a private mint operating under license, a now-common arrangement that keeps production costs low while exploiting the legal tender status of a sovereign issuer.
