| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing effigy of King Charles III occupies the central field of this fan-shaped gold piece, rendered in fine relief after the portrait by engraver Dominique Thiébaut, whose initials DT appear beneath the bust. The legend SOLOMON ISLANDS · 2024 arcs along the upper border, while the denomination 10 DOLLARS is inscribed vertically along the left edge. The name CHARLES III appears in bold lettering along the right border, completing the design within the trapezoidal format. |

| Additional information |
Part of a miniature gold series capitalizing on the post-Elizabeth transition, this piece was struck for the numismatic market rather than any circulation purpose — Solomon Islands has used these types as revenue vehicles for decades. At half a gram of .9999 fine gold, the actual metal content barely registers against the premium collectors pay.
