| Reverse description | Detailed high-relief depiction of the Chicago Water Tower, a celebrated Gothic Revival limestone landmark situated centrally within the rectangular field. The tower's ornate battlements, pinnacles, and arched entrance are rendered with fine architectural precision, flanked by the silhouette of the Chicago skyline in lower relief. A globe icon appears in the upper left corner, evoking the World Monuments series theme. The year 2016 is inscribed in the upper right field, and the legend CHICAGO appears in raised block letters along the lower border. |

| Additional information |
Part of a topographical city series issued by the Central Bank of Solomon Islands, a jurisdiction that has routinely licensed its minting authority to private bullion producers for commemorative programs bearing no domestic circulation purpose. The coins are legal tender in name only — produced in limited runs for the collector market and never intended to reach Honiara.
