| Obverse lettering | ELIZABETH II SOLOMON ISLANDS 2 DOLLARS IRB 2014 |
| Reverse description | Richly colored central scene depicting characters from J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan: Peter Pan and Wendy fly through the air above Neverland, accompanied by Tinker Bell and the Darling children, while Captain Hook stands on the shore below alongside a menacing crocodile, with a tall-masted sailing ship in the middle ground and rocky island cliffs in the background. Small emblematic vignettes — a treasure chest and a clock — flank the inner border at the sides. The upper legend reads PETER PAN in raised letters, and the lower legend reads FAIRY TALES, both set within a decorative scrollwork border frame. |

| Additional information |
The Solomon Islands has operated an extensive commemorative bullion program since the early 2000s, licensing intellectual property from estates and studios to produce legal-tender issues with no meaningful circulation intent. This Peter Pan piece falls squarely in that category — struck for the collector market under a licensing arrangement tied to the J.M. Barrie copyright, which passed into the public domain in the UK in 1987 but has been subject to ongoing royalty arrangements in other jurisdictions, particularly through Great Ormond Street Hospital, which received perpetual rights to the work by Parliamentary act in 1988.
