| Reverse description | Central allegorical figure of Lady Britain, helmeted and draped in classical robes, standing in a chariot and holding a long spear, her flowing hair and laurel branch visible against a radiant sunburst background. A lion's head occupies the lower foreground, symbolising British strength and sovereignty. A circular privy mark at the lower left bears the inscription 35th Anniv. in commemoration of the series anniversary. The upper legend LADY BRITAIN arcs across the rim, while the lower rim carries the weight, fineness, and design year inscriptions. |

| Additional information |
The "Lady Britain" branding attaches this piece to a privately marketed series sold through secondary distributors rather than issued for any monetary purpose by the Solomon Islands government — a licensing arrangement that has become routine for small Pacific sovereignties seeking seigniorage revenue without maintaining mint infrastructure of their own. The face value is nominally legal tender but bears no relationship to bullion content or market price.
At 0.311 g of .9999 gold, this is a 1/100 oz piece, the smallest practical denomination in modern gold bullion coinage.
