| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two prominent figures of peace rendered in fine relief: Pope John Paul II standing at right, wearing papal vestments and a pectoral cross, with his arm extended in a gesture of blessing or embrace, and Mother Teresa of Calcutta at left, shown in her characteristic white habit with blue border, her hands clasped in prayer. A dove in flight is positioned in the upper left field, symbolising peace. The curved legend 'FOR WORLD PEACE' arcs across the upper portion of the field, and the denomination '5 DOLLARS' is inscribed along the lower exergue. |

Issued as part of a wave of small-format gold miniatures that flooded the collector market around 2009–2012, this piece belongs to a category driven almost entirely by novelty rather than monetary function. Solomon Islands lent its name to dozens of such issues during this period, with actual production handled by private minting houses in Europe — the issuing authority's involvement largely administrative.
