The portrait, engraved by IRB, is set within a wide polished field. The circular legend around the periphery reads ELIZABETH II to the left and SOLOMON ISLANDS AG9990 5 DOLLARS to the right, with the denomination and purity inscribed in full. The engraver's initials IRB appear below the bust truncation, and the date 2023 is placed in the lower exergue. |

| Reverse description | Central depiction of a Viking Berserker warrior, rendered in the style of the famous Lewis Chessmen medieval chess pieces. The figure stands facing, wearing a conical helmet and long chainmail hauberk, biting the top edge of a round shield decorated with a cartwheel motif, and grasping a spear in his right hand. The bold sculptural design fills the field with no peripheral legend, allowing the intricately carved warrior figure to dominate the composition entirely against a mirror-polished background. |
