| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped bust effigy of Queen Elizabeth II occupies the central field, engraved in high relief with fine portrait detail and the engraver's initials IRB below the truncation. The bust is set against an elaborately engraved background of swirling foliate and floral scrollwork covering the entire heart-shaped field. The legend SOLOMON ISLANDS arcs along the upper portion of the field, while the specifications 15g Ag 999 appear to the left and 1 DOLLAR to the right, all integrated within the decorative ground. A small suspension loop is fitted at the apex of the heart, confirming the piece's dual function as a pendant. |

| Additional information |
The "Eternal Love" branding belongs to a New Zealand Mint licensed series aimed squarely at the gift and collectible market rather than numismatic circulation — Solomon Islands face value is nominal, the coins never reaching the archipelago's economy in any meaningful sense. The issuing authority lends its name under a licensing arrangement that has become a significant revenue stream for several Pacific microstates since the 1990s.
