| Obverse description | Shaped as the FIFA World Cup Trophy in profile, the obverse features a raised circular panel at the upper portion bearing the right-facing effigy of King Charles III in plain dress, after the portrait by Jody Clark. The circular legend reads '· CHARLES III · 2026 · SOLOMON ISLANDS ·' around the portrait, while the lower field of the circular panel bears the denomination '$10' flanked by the weight '1g' and fineness 'Au 9999'. The base of the trophy-shaped flan displays the numerals '26' in bold relief, referencing the tournament year. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a highly detailed three-dimensional sculptural rendering of the FIFA World Cup Trophy, shaped to the exact contour of the trophy itself. Two human figures in flowing robes are shown in high relief supporting a globe surmounted by the world, faithfully reproducing the iconic design by Silvio Gazzaniga. The base of the trophy is rendered in colour with a green and gold enamel finish, and the inscription 'FIFA WORLD CUP' appears in raised lettering across the coloured base, replicating the engraved text found on the actual trophy. |

| Additional information |
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is the first to be hosted across three nations simultaneously — the United States, Canada, and Mexico — and the first to feature 48 teams rather than 32, following FIFA's 2017 expansion vote. Solomon Islands has no qualification history for the tournament and no meaningful footballing connection to the event, placing this squarely in the category of bullion-adjacent commemorative issues produced for collector revenue rather than national relevance.
One gram of .9999 fine gold at this size carries essentially no numismatic premium potential beyond spot; the Solomon Islands licensing arrangement with various minting houses for FIFA-themed issues has produced dozens of near-identical releases across multiple denominations in this cycle alone.
