The legend MY LITTLE INVESTMENT arcs along the upper rim, while the date 2020 is inscribed to the left of the figure. The inscription 1/2 G .9999 FINEST GOLD curves along the lower rim, attesting to the coin's fineness and weight, all within a raised border. |

| Additional information |
Part of a wave of fractional gold issues flooding the market from Pacific island monetary authorities in the 2010s and 2020s, this piece was struck under license arrangements typical of the bullion novelty trade — the Solomon Islands providing legal tender status to a coin with no practical domestic circulation role whatsoever. The actual minting was almost certainly contracted to a European private mint, as the Central Bank of Solomon Islands has no striking facility of its own.
