| Beschrijving keerzijde | A full-color reproduction of the painting 'Childhood Friends' by the German Romantic artist Carl Spitzweg fills the entire rectangular reverse field, bordered by a narrow gold-toned frame. The scene depicts two elderly male figures in a rustic garden setting, one robed and leaning on a staff with his back turned, the other standing in colorful attire and accompanied by a small dog, surrounded by lush vegetation, a garden wall, and trees under an open sky. The vivid polychrome color application faithfully replicates the warm tonal palette characteristic of Spitzweg's genre painting style. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Solomon Islands has issued commemorative coinage under its own authority since independence in 1978, but by the 2010s its central bank had become one of several Pacific island issuers partnering with European minting houses — primarily Austrian and Polish — to produce high-weight, low-denomination collector pieces marketed internationally. These issues carry nominal face values with no practical relationship to their metal content or retail price, a common structure in the modern commemorative market.
This particular piece belongs to a themed series issued during the final years before Elizabeth II's 90th birthday, drawing on royal biographical material that had circulated widely following the Diamond Jubilee.
