| Reverse description | The reverse displays a full-color printed depiction of the Barbie and the Rockers doll figure rendered across the shaped planchet, which replicates the outline of the classic Barbie doll form. The figure is shown standing full-length, dressed in the iconic 1986 'Barbie and the Rockers' fashion ensemble comprising a bright pink jacket, silver lamé top, purple belt, white miniskirt, and pink leggings with silver ankle boots. The doll's voluminous blonde hair is adorned with a large purple bow, and she holds a microphone in her right hand. The vivid coloring and detailed print capture the distinctive 1980s pop-rock aesthetic of the original toy line, covering nearly the entire reverse surface of the coin. |

| Additional information |
Barbie and the Rockers was Mattel's 1986 response to the runaway success of Jem and the Holograms, repositioning the doll as a pop musician to recapture market share from Hasbro. The animated series and toy line had a short commercial window — largely displaced within two years by subsequent Barbie iterations. Solomon Islands has issued commemorative silver rounds under its $2 denomination framework for over a decade, functioning essentially as a legal-tender bullion vehicle for licensed pop-culture properties rather than coins intended for domestic circulation.
