In the lower portion of the reverse, a cloud-shaped cartouche contains the inscriptions 9999 AG, the date 2020, and the weight designation 1 T OZ, denoting the coin's silver fineness, year of issue, and troy ounce weight respectively. |

| Additional information |
The Solomon Islands has been a prolific issuer of legal-tender novelty silver rounds since the early 2000s, licensing its monetary authority to foreign minting operations — primarily European — to produce collector-targeted pieces with no meaningful domestic circulation. This particular issue is a product of that arrangement, carrying face value as a formality.
Struck in .9999 fine silver rather than the more common .999, a specification more typical of bullion product lines than commemorative issues.
