| Reverse description | Draped bust of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, depicted in three-quarter view facing left, wearing a flowing classical garment and a floral wreath in her long curling hair, with a decorative necklace at her throat. The figure is rendered in high relief against a blue colored field embellished with a repeating pattern of roses in low relief, evoking classical mythology. The border consists of a Greek key (meander) ornamental band framed by a beaded outer ring. The legend 'APHRODITE' arcs across the upper portion of the coin in raised Latin lettering. |

| Additional information |
The Aphrodite series, issued under various Pacific sovereign-rights arrangements, belongs to a well-established commercial collectibles market in which small island nations license their monetary authority to private minting operations — the Solomon Islands government sees negligible revenue from actual circulation. These pieces are produced for the numismatic trade outright and will not see Honiara.
