The legend SOLOMON ISLANDS arcs across the top of the field. Below the portrait, the denomination $10 is prominently displayed in large numerals, followed by the inscription 1g FINE GOLD 999.9 confirming the coin's fineness and weight. The mint mark of Leipziger Edelmetallverarbeitung (LEV), rendered as a stylised monogram within a lozenge, appears in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Part of the "Famous Cities" bullion miniature series struck by the Austrian Mint on behalf of Pacific island issuers, this piece belongs to a category of fractional gold issues that exist primarily as collectibles rather than instruments of genuine circulation. The Solomon Islands has issued dozens of these licensed pieces with no meaningful domestic monetary function.
The Austrian Mint's .9999 fine gold standard — four nines purity — became their benchmark following the introduction of the Vienna Philharmonic in 1989.
