| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, occupying the central field against a horizontally lined background. The Queen is depicted wearing a tiara and a pearl drop earring, with her elaborately styled hair rendered in fine detail. The engraver's initials IRB appear below the truncation of the bust. The circumferential legend reads ELIZABETH II SOLOMON ISLANDS 10 DOLLARS, with the denomination split to either side of the effigy, while the lower arc carries the weight designation 1/100 oz, the date 2023, and the fineness mark Au 999.9. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features five miniature representations of celebrated historical gold coins arranged in two rows across the central field, each rendered with faithful detail to its respective original. The upper row displays two oval coin depictions — one appearing to show a medieval figure in robes beside a standing object, the other a crowned profile bust — while the lower row presents three further coins: a ship-type gold noble with a crowned monarch aboard a vessel, a German gold coin bearing the bust of Kaiser Wilhelm I with the legend WILHELM DEUTSCHER KAISER KÖNIG V. PREUSSEN, and an early American eagle gold coin dated 1787 with the legend E PLURIBUS UNUM and the initials EB. The upper arc carries the bold legend HISTORICAL GOLD COINS, and the lower portion of the field bears the inscription THE HISTORY OF GOLD in prominent raised lettering. A decorative beaded border frames the entire reverse design. |
