| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a tiara, rendered in the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley. The legend ELIZABETH II curves along the left rim and SOLOMON ISLANDS along the upper rim, with the denomination 2 DOLLARS at the right. The engraver's initials IRB appear below the truncation of the bust, and the date 2014 is inscribed at the base of the field. The proof finish imparts a deeply mirrored background contrasting with the frosted relief of the royal portrait. |

| Reverse description | A colorized scene from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale 'The Princess and the Pea' occupies the central field, depicting a princess seated atop a tall, ornate canopied bed, her figure dressed in a purple gown. To the left stands a young prince in a red jacket and blue breeches, and to the right a crowned queen in a green dress gestures toward the bed. The composition is rendered in vivid polychrome enamel applied to a proof silver surface. The arc legend THE PRINCESS AND THE PEA curves along the upper rim, while FAIRY TALES appears in relief along the lower rim, both flanked by decorative scroll ornaments. |
