| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem, rendered in high relief after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear beneath the truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left field and SOLOMON ISLANDS along the upper right, with the denomination 1 DOLLAR at the right and the date 2017 at the base. The gold-plated field contrasts with a dramatic black sector occupying the upper left quadrant, lending a striking two-tone visual effect to the obverse. |

| Additional information |
The Solomon Islands has issued commemorative coinage through the Central Bank since the 1970s, but by the 2010s the program had shifted heavily toward contracted issues produced for the international collector market — pieces with no meaningful domestic circulation and limited connection to Solomons monetary history. This is one of those.
Gold-plated copper-nickel at this specification is a format associated almost entirely with wholesale numismatic distributors targeting gift buyers rather than collectors.
