| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait, depicted with a diadem and wearing a pearl earring. The legend ELIZABETH II is inscribed vertically along the left field, while SOLOMON ISLANDS curves along the upper right. The denomination 5 DOLLARS appears in the lower field, flanked by the engraver's initials IRB. The entire design is set against a finely detailed engraved world map background, and the coin bears an irregular, non-circular shaped flan evoking an organic Arctic-themed silhouette. |

| Reverse description | A powerful polar bear is depicted in dynamic motion, lunging through arctic waters with jaws wide open, teeth bared, in pursuit of prey. Several small fish are rendered in the background amid stylised water ripples, conveying depth and movement. The composition fills the shaped flan dramatically, emphasising the bear's musculature and hunting posture. The inscriptions 999.9 SILVER, 2 OZ, and 2021 appear within the reverse field, denoting the coin's fineness, weight, and year of issue. |
