| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the George IV State Diadem and a drop earring with a delicate necklace at the truncation, modelled by Raphael David Maklouf. The sculptor's initials RDM appear at the base of the neck truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left field and SOLOMON ISLANDS along the right field, with the date 2003 positioned in the lower exergue. The mirrored proof field provides a sharp contrast against the finely detailed portrait. |

| Reverse description | A large-scale depiction of the Antonov An-225 Mriya, the world's heaviest cargo aircraft, rendered in fine detail and shown in low-altitude flight from a slightly elevated perspective over a pastoral landscape featuring fields, a small village, and mountain ranges receding into the background. A second, smaller aircraft is visible in the upper left field, suggesting the An-225's immense scale by comparison. The curved legend AN-225 MRIYA arcs prominently across the upper field, while the denomination 25 DOLLARS appears in two lines at the lower right of the field. |
