| Beschrijving voorzijde | The coin is struck in an irregular shape contoured to the outline of a Tasmanian Tiger, with the obverse featuring the right-facing diademed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, his initials IRB appearing below the truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs to the left, SOLOMON ISLANDS curves above, and 2 DOLLARS appears to the right, with the date 2021 below the portrait. The field is richly decorated in high relief with naturalistic Australian flora, including eucalyptus branches with elongated leaves and berries framing the upper portion, while tall grasses fill the lower field. A serial number (0001) is incused in the lower field. The entire design is rendered in brilliant proof finish on a shaped flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The thylacine — commonly called the Tasmanian tiger despite being neither feline nor exclusively Tasmanian — was declared extinct in 1986, fifty years after the last known specimen, Benjamin, died in the Hobart Zoo on 7 September 1936. That date is now observed in Australia as National Threatened Species Day. Genetic recovery programs at the University of Melbourne have attracted serious funding since the early 2020s, which explains the renewed commercial interest in thylacine-themed issues from this period.
The Solomon Islands has no biological or historical connection to the species. The issuing authority is effectively a licensing arrangement with a bullion program, and the .9999 fineness places this squarely in the collector-bullion market rather than any circulating series.
