| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicting the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The mature bust is rendered in fine detail with layered hair waves and a small pearl earring visible. The engraver's initials IRB appear below the truncation. The circular legend reads ELIZABETH II to the left and SOLOMON ISLANDS across the top, with AG999.0 and 5 DOLLARS to the right, and the date 2021 at the base of the field. |

| Reverse description | Central high-relief depiction of the Warder chess piece from the Lewis Chessmen, a celebrated collection of 12th-century Norse carved walrus ivory gaming pieces. The Warder, rendered as a squat bearded figure wearing a conical helmet and long cloak, is shown full-length, gripping a sword upright in both hands before him with a shield at his side. The sculptural surface faithfully replicates the textured, stylised carving characteristic of the original medieval artefact. The surrounding field is mirror-polished, contrasting with the frosted relief of the central figure, and the reverse carries no additional legend or inscription. |
