| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear below the truncation. The legend SOLOMON ISLANDS arcs across the upper field, while the denomination $2 is displayed prominently in the lower central field. Below a horizontal rule, the inscription 1/2 oz FINE SILVER 999 confirms the metal content, and the diamond-shaped LEV mint mark of Leipziger Edelmetallverarbeitung appears at the very base of the field. |

| Additional information |
This piece is part of the broader wave of collector-market silver issues that the Solomon Islands authorized through European mints in the 2010s — a practice common among small Pacific sovereigns whose domestic minting infrastructure is essentially nonexistent. The Paris Mint strike is identifiable by the cornucopia and torch privy marks, which distinguish it from issues produced elsewhere under the same authorization.
