| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, modeled by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicting the monarch in mature portrait with the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' runs along the left periphery and 'SOLOMON ISLANDS' arcs across the upper field, with the denomination '2 DOLLARS' descending along the right. The engraver's initials 'IRB' appear beneath the portrait truncation, and the date '2016' is inscribed at the bottom of the field against a mirror-polished background. |

| Additional information |
Issued under the Solomon Islands' long-running bullion and commemorative program, which has used the nation's nominal sovereignty to license dozens of wildlife-themed collector pieces with no meaningful local circulation. The tiger has no ecological connection to the Solomon Islands whatsoever — the archipelago sits well outside any historical range of Panthera tigris.
