| Obverse description | The obverse features a circular inset medallion bearing the right-facing bareheaded effigy of King Charles III in high relief against a matte silver field. The circular legend reads CHARLES III · 2026 · SOLOMON ISLANDS, with the denomination $5 and fineness marks 2oz Ag.999 inscribed below the portrait. The medallion is set within a sculpted silver shield-shaped planchet, surmounted by a gold-gilt royal crown rendered in elaborate filigree openwork. The lower portion of the shield displays a quartered heraldic composition with repeated figural motifs — including lions, fleurs-de-lis, and chess-piece-like forms — executed in gold-gilt relief openwork. The overall coin assumes a non-round heraldic shield silhouette with a base socle, combining matte silver and selective gold gilding for striking visual contrast. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a highly sculptural, three-dimensional representation of the Lion of England as a heraldic supporter, shown passant and facing left, rendered in matte silver with exceptional high-relief detail in the mane, paws, and musculature. The lion is surmounted by a gold-gilt royal crown executed in intricate openwork filigree. The lion grips and partially supports a quartered heraldic shield bearing repeated fleurs-de-lis and cross-crosslet motifs arranged in a grid pattern, all rendered in gold-gilt openwork. The coin takes the outline shape of the complete heraldic composition — lion, crown, and shield — forming a sculptural non-round planchet. The entire composition is rendered in contrasting matte silver and polished gold gilding, emphasizing the heraldic tradition of the English royal arms. |
