| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly detailed, three-dimensional sculptural depiction of a great white shark dramatically bursting through and beyond the coin's surface in high relief, creating a shaped cutout effect at the coin's edge as the shark's head emerges to seize its prey. The body of the shark is rendered with exceptional anatomical precision, showcasing its open jaws, serrated teeth, and characteristic torpedo-shaped form. The reverse field bears the inscriptions '999.9 SILVER', '2 OZ', and the date '2021' in the lower portion. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The great white shark has been legally protected in Australian waters since 1999 and in international waters under CITES Appendix II, but remains absent from meaningful protection across much of its Indo-Pacific range — the Solomon Islands included. This coin is part of a broader Pacific-issuer trend of using charismatic megafauna to drive bullion and collector sales, a revenue stream that has become significant for smaller island nations with limited minting infrastructure of their own, typically contracting production to facilities in Perth or Pobjoy.
At two troy ounces of four-nines silver, the specification places it squarely in the high-premium collector-bullion tier rather than pure stackable silver.
