Obverse description Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as executed by engraver Raphael David Maklouf, occupying the central field. The Queen is depicted wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, with curled hair pinned up and a simple draped neckline. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left periphery and SOLOMON ISLANDS along the upper right, both in raised Latin lettering. The date 2006 appears in the lower exergue. The mirrored proof fields provide a sharp contrast against the frosted relief of the portrait.

Reverse description Central depiction of the Ville de Paris, an 18th-century French first-rate ship of the line under full sail, rendered in fine relief against a background of rolling waves and billowing clouds. The vessel is shown in three-quarter perspective with all sails set, conveying a sense of movement and nautical grandeur. A decorative dashed inner border frames the design. The legend VILLE DE PARIS is inscribed in the upper field, and the denomination 25 DOLLARS appears along the lower margin in bold raised lettering. The overall composition reflects a detailed engraving style characteristic of commemorative maritime issues.
