| Reverse description | The reverse of this sculptural, golf bag-shaped coin presents a highly detailed, three-dimensional depiction of a classic golf bag rendered in antique-finished proof technique. The body of the bag is realistically portrayed with finely engraved stitching, pockets, and carrying straps, while the upper portion of the coin displays the protruding heads of multiple golf clubs — including irons and a wood — rising from the bag's opening with crisp, individually detailed faces and shafts. The word 'Golf' is inscribed in flowing cursive script at the lower right of the bag. The overall design achieves a remarkable sculptural depth, combining frosted and mirror-polished surfaces to evoke the texture and materiality of genuine golfing equipment. |

| Additional information |
The Solomon Islands has issued novelty bullion dollars under royal portrait authority since the early 2000s, largely targeting the collector-gift market rather than any domestic monetary function. This piece belongs to a crowded field of themed issues produced for export through Pacific-region mints and distributed almost exclusively through third-party dealers.
Elizabeth II's portrait was used on such issues up until her death in September 2022, making late-dated pieces like this one terminal examples of a portrait in continuous coinage use since 1953 — longer than any other monarch in Commonwealth history.
