| Reverse description | Two highly detailed cobras with raised hoods facing each other in a confronted composition, their sinuous bodies intertwined across the central field, rendered with fine scale texture in high relief. A small circular privy mark depicting the Asian continent appears to the left in the mid-field. The design is framed by a continuous Greek-key meander border running along the inner rim. The inscription '1/100 OZ .9999 FINEST GOLD' arcs along the lower exergue in Latin lettering. |

At 0.311 grams, this belongs to the fractional gold miniature category that has exploded among Pacific island issuers over the past decade — sovereign mints licensing their royal warrants to private bullion programs, with the Solomon Islands monetary authority lending its name to legal tender status. Charles III's accession in September 2022 opened a fresh licensing cycle for such issues globally, and the cobra motif places this squarely in a wildlife bullion series rather than any commemorative program with historical grounding.
