| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered in high relief after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear below the truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II · 2023 · SOLOMON ISLANDS arcs along the upper periphery, while · TEN DOLLARS · is inscribed along the lower periphery. The portrait conveys a refined sculptural quality characteristic of late-reign Rank-Broadley coinage portraits. |

Issued in the months following Elizabeth II's death in September 2022, this piece is part of the wave of commemoratives produced before the formal transition of effigy standards across Commonwealth mints. The Queen's Coronation of June 1953 was itself a production milestone for the BBC — the first major outside broadcast watched by more British households than listened on radio, a genuine inflection point in the country's media history.
Solomon Islands has long served as an issuing authority for bullion and collector gold on behalf of third-party mints, with the legal tender status largely nominal.
