| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed panoramic cityscape of Beijing, combining traditional and contemporary architectural elements. In the left foreground, the Temple of Heaven (Tiantan) is rendered in fine engraved relief, its characteristic circular tiered roofline and ornate pavilion clearly delineated. Behind it, the modern Beijing skyline rises dramatically, featuring recognisable skyscrapers including the CCTV Headquarters and China World Trade Center Tower III, set against a sky with engraved clouds. The mint mark, a stylised letter M within a circular emblem, appears at the top of the inner field. The legend BEIJING is inscribed along the lower exergual border in raised Latin letters, and the border echoes the geometric latticework pattern of the obverse. |

| Additional information |
A 45mm coin weighing 0.31 grams is physically unusual — the geometry only works if the planchet is extraordinarily thin, a format associated with Chinese "gold foil" souvenir issues that have proliferated since the early 2010s. These are struck for the collector and gift market in mainland China, with Pacific island nations lending their issuing authority in exchange for licensing fees. Solomon Islands has no functional role in production, distribution, or design.
