The curved legend MY GOLDHEART FAMILY arcs along the upper periphery, with KOALA immediately below it. The weight and fineness inscription 1/2 G .9999 FINEST GOLD is arranged along the lower arc of the field. |

| Additional information |
The Australian koala bullion series, originally launched by the Perth Mint in 1987, has spawned a sprawling secondary market of fractional gold pieces issued by smaller Pacific sovereignties using Australian wildlife imagery under licensing arrangements. Solomon Islands has been a frequent participant. At half a gram, this piece sits at the absolute lower boundary of practical gold coinage — a denomination driven entirely by accessibility marketing rather than any monetary function.
