| Reverse description | A stylised eagle spirit of Malaita, a traditional Melanesian frigate bird motif depicted with wings fully outstretched and tail feathers spread downward, rendered in a geometric, linear style evoking indigenous Pacific art. The bird is shown facing left with a long neck and beak, and is flanked symmetrically on both sides by rows of small star-like ornamental devices. The denomination '2' appears in large numerals at the top of the field, with 'CENTS' inscribed immediately below it. The mint mark 'FM' appears in the lower field near the rim. |
