The date 2018 appears to the right of the dragon in the mid-field. The arc legend MY LITTLE INVESTMENT curves along the upper border, while the inscription 1/2 G .9999 FINEST GOLD runs along the lower border, referencing the coin's weight and fineness. |

| Additional information |
Part of a broader Pacific-issued miniature gold series marketed through the New Zealand Mint, these fractional pieces are legal tender by designation only — Solomon Islands has no domestic gold coinage tradition and no meaningful role in their production or distribution. The Baby Dragon issue targets the Chinese gift-giving market, where small gold items carrying dragon motifs carry cultural weight around Lunar New Year and birth celebrations.
