| Obverse description | Right-facing, diademed and draped bust of Queen Elizabeth II, as sculpted by Ian Rank-Broadley, occupying the central field. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs along the left rim and 'SOLOMON ISLANDS' along the upper rim, with the denomination '2 DOLLARS' inscribed to the right. The date '2016' appears in the lower exergue, and the engraver's initials 'IRB' are incuse below the truncation of the bust. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. |

| Reverse description | A dramatically stylized, full-face portrait of a lion's head facing right, rendered in vivid applied color graduating from deep magenta and purple in the flowing mane on the left to fiery orange and golden yellow on the face and right side of the mane, suggesting a luminous or flame-like artistic treatment against a darkened matte silver field. The word 'Lion' appears in cursive script above the central motif along the upper field. The inscription '.999 FINE SILVER 1 OZ' is engraved in block capitals along the lower rim, confirming the coin's precious metal content and weight. |
