| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicting the Queen with an elaborately coiffured hairstyle and small tiara crown. The truncation bears the engraver's initials 'IRB' in small capitals. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs along the upper left rim and 'SOLOMON ISLANDS' along the upper right rim, both in raised Latin capitals. The date '2011' appears in the lower exergue, with the deeply mirrored field lending the portrait a proof-like appearance. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of the broader wave of commemorative dollar pieces the Solomon Islands monetary authority licensed through the early 2010s, this coin has no connection to everyday Solomon Islands commerce. The Royal Australian Mint handles the nation's circulating coinage; pieces like this one are contracted through third-party minting arrangements and sold directly into the collector market. KM# 315 sits in a long sequence of similarly produced issues that collectively tell you more about the commemorative licensing industry than about Solomon Islands monetary history.
