| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after Ian Rank-Broadley, with the engraver's initials IRB incuse below the truncation. The background field is engraved with an undulating fishing-net or wave-lattice pattern, and a shark-shaped cutout pierces the upper-right quadrant of the flan. The legend SOLOMON ISLANDS arcs along the upper rim, the date 2019 appears centrally below it, and the denomination 5 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed relief portrait of a great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) rendered in dynamic lateral profile, set against an engraved underwater seascape evoking the shark's natural oceanic habitat. Immediately adjacent to the shark is a precisely cut shark-shaped aperture through the flan, creating a dramatic three-dimensional negative-space effect that mirrors the animal's silhouette. The legend GREAT WHITE SHARK arcs along the upper field, while the purity and weight designations 1 oz AG .999 appear in the lower field. |
