| Obverse description | The obverse features the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, set within a circular cartouche positioned toward the tail section of the shark-shaped flan. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' appears to the left of the portrait and 'SOLOMON ISLANDS' arcs above, with '2 DOLLARS' to the right and the date '2019' below. To the left of the portrait, the inscriptions '1 OZ', '999.9 Ag', and 'GREAT WHITE SHARK' are incused across the field, along with a serial number. The IRB initials of the engraver appear below the effigy truncation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a highly detailed, sculptural depiction of a great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) in full lateral profile, oriented to the left, occupying the entire shark-shaped flan. The coin's contour precisely follows the silhouette of the shark, including the dorsal fin, caudal fin, and pectoral fins. Fine relief work renders the shark's gill slits, eye, open jaw with serrated teeth, and the characteristic countershaded coloration of the species. The frosted reverse proof finish contrasts with the polished field to emphasize anatomical detail. No legends appear on this face. |
