| Obverse description | The obverse features a right-facing uncrowned effigy of King Charles III at center within a circular raised border, depicted in a contemporary portrait style with natural hair. The circular legend surrounding the portrait reads '100 DOLLARS · 2025 · CHARLES III' above and 'SOLOMON ISLANDS' below. Below the central medallion, in the lower left field of the rectangular flan, the inscription 'SILVER 999 1KG' appears, while the individual serial number from the limited edition of 500 pieces is engraved in the lower right field. The background field of the rectangular bar exhibits a fine engine-turned guilloche pattern of diagonal lines, enhancing the overall visual depth of the piece. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a full-color reproduction of Sandro Botticelli's masterpiece 'The Birth of Venus' (c. 1484–1486), rendered across the entire rectangular surface of the one-kilogram silver flan. The goddess Venus is depicted standing nude at center upon a giant scallop shell emerging from the sea, with flowing auburn hair modestly covering part of her figure. To her left, the wind gods Zephyrus and Aura blow streams of air, scattering rose blossoms, while to her right the Hora of Spring extends a floral mantle to receive the goddess. The vivid polychrome color application faithfully reproduces the Renaissance palette of the original Uffizi Gallery composition, with fine detail preserved across the landscape, figures, and drapery. |
