| Reverse description | The reverse features a coloured portrait of footballer Cristiano Ronaldo in the right portion of the field, depicted in a white jersey with his hand raised, based on artwork by American pop-art painter Sid Maurer. To the left, a large engraved football occupies the uncoloured field. A diagonal banner across the centre bears the inscriptions SID MAURER HOMAGE TO CRISTIANO RONALDO in raised lettering. A facsimile of Ronaldo's autograph appears at the lower right, and a star emblem is visible in the upper right field. |

| Additional information |
Solomon Islands has issued a steady stream of licensed celebrity and sports coins since the 2000s, most produced by private minting houses under contract rather than through any initiative of the Central Bank of Solomon Islands itself. This piece falls squarely into that category — a bullion-adjacent novelty with nominal legal tender status but no realistic path into circulation.
