| Reverse description | Centrally depicted is a richly coloured frontal bust of an antelope, rendered in detailed polychrome enamel with dark fur highlighted by copper and teal tones, set against a mandala-like geometric background of hexagonal cells. The antelope is framed by a large green circle and a six-pointed star (Star of David) formed by two overlapping equilateral triangles, symbolic of the Heart Chakra (Anahata), the Fourth Chakra in Hindu tradition. Elaborate green foliage, vines, and decorative leaf motifs fill the inner field and the twelve ornate petal-shaped lobes of the scalloped border, all rendered in vivid green coloring. The overall composition evokes sacred geometry and spiritual symbolism associated with the Anahata chakra, with no inscriptions on the reverse. |

Part of a loosely New Age-themed bullion series issued under Solomon Islands' licensing arrangements — the islands themselves have no institutional connection to chakra traditions. Like dozens of similar issues from this jurisdiction, it exists because the Solomon Islands government has long sold minting rights to private distributors, primarily European, who design the series and handle retail distribution independently. The face value is nominal; no one has ever tendered one of these at a shop in Honiara.
