| Obverse description | Central medallion bearing the right-facing uncrowned effigy of King Charles III, engraved by David Thomas, whose initials 'DT' appear beneath the truncation. The circular legend surrounding the portrait reads 'CHARLES III · 2024 · SOLOMON ISLANDS' along the upper arc and '· 10 DOLLARS ·' along the lower arc. Below the medallion, the denomination '1/100 oz' is inscribed in the field. The broader rectangular field surrounding the central medallion is decorated in low relief with an intricate botanical motif featuring fern fronds, flowering plants, and small bees, rendered in a delicate naturalistic style. |

| Additional information |
Part of a licensed Beatrix Potter series, this minuscule fractional gold piece targets the collector bullion market rather than any circulation need — the Solomon Islands have issued dozens of similar celebrity-licensed fractionals with no meaningful connection to the archipelago's monetary history. The hedgehog character first appeared in Potter's 1905 story, which she based on a real hedgehog she kept as a pet.
