| Beschrijving keerzijde | Highly detailed, naturalistic depiction of a red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) in full flight, viewed from below and slightly to the front, with both wings fully extended to fill the entire hawk-shaped flan. The bird's plumage is rendered with exceptional engraving detail, showing individual primary and secondary feathers across the spread wings, a broad rounded tail, and powerful talons visible beneath the body. The hawk's head is turned slightly to the viewer's right, with a piercing eye and hooked beak clearly delineated. The shaped flan's outline faithfully follows the contour of the bird's extended wings, reinforcing the three-dimensional illusion of flight. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The red-tailed hawk is native to North America, making its appearance on a Solomon Islands issue a straightforward example of the bullion coin licensing model that has dominated Commonwealth mint output since the early 2000s — a sovereign issuer lends its authority to a coin with no geographic or historical connection to the subject. The Solomon Islands government has struck dozens of such pieces under similar arrangements, the actual production typically contracted to private minting facilities in Europe or Australia.
