| Reverse description | The convex reverse presents a dramatic composition centred on a large compass rose rendered in deep relief, its cardinal points N, W, E, and S marked at the periphery, with the legend THE NEW WORLD inscribed along the upper right arc. To the left, the Mayflower under full sail is depicted in finely engraved detail rising from the lower field. To the lower right, a group of Pilgrim figures in period dress disembarks, evoking the 1620 landing. At centre, a raised circular cartouche bears the script inscription The Mayflower with the commemorative dates 1620–2020 below and the legend 400TH ANNIVERSARY above. The rope-patterned rim frames the entire composition. |

| Additional information |
The Solomon Islands has long used commemorative bullion issues as a revenue mechanism, licensing designs to foreign minting operations — this piece almost certainly originated with a private mint rather than any domestic striking facility. The Mayflower's 1620 voyage is a well-worn commemorative subject, and 2020 marked the 400th anniversary, which prompted a wave of issues across multiple jurisdictions with no geographic connection to the event whatsoever.
KM# 400 attribution places it firmly in the modern commemorative category with no circulation history.
