| Reverse description | The reverse presents a selectively gilt panoramic skyline of Mumbai rendered in raised relief against a mirror-polished field, with the gilded cityscape applied in warm gold tone. The lower register features a broad band filled with garnet dust, creating a sparkling reddish-brown texture, with a central oval cartouche bearing the inscriptions 'MUMBAI' and 'GARNET' flanking a small diamond motif. In the upper left, the legend 'JEWEL BAR' appears in bold relief, while a diamond-shaped logo commemorating the '75th anniv.' is positioned in the upper right corner alongside the fineness marks '.999 Ag' and '.999 Au'. |

| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a wave of novelty collector issues produced for Pacific island nations whose central banks license their names to private minting operations — in this case almost certainly struck by a European or Indian contract mint rather than anything connected to the Solomon Islands themselves. The Mumbai tie is geographical theming, not a mint of origin. Garnet dust as a surface treatment became fashionable among bullion-adjacent collectibles in the early 2020s, borrowed from the gemstone coin segment that had been expanding since roughly 2015.
