The peripheral legend reads 'CHARLES III · 2026 · SOLOMON ISLANDS' arranged around the upper and lateral edges, with '· 50 CENTS ·' inscribed along the lower edge. The engraver's initials 'DT' appear in the lower right field near the truncation. The overall finish is prooflike with highly polished fields contrasting the relief portrait. |

| Reverse description | Central design features a colourful butterfly rendered in the distinctive illustrative style of Eric Carle's 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' children's book, with multi-hued wings displayed in vivid applied colour including greens, blues, yellows, pinks, and purples. A decorative border of raised dots frames the inner field around the heptagonal perimeter. The legend 'the very hungry caterpillar' is inscribed in multicoloured lettering across the upper field, while 'beautiful BUTTERFLY' appears in the lower field in pink and purple lettering. The trademark and copyright notice 'TM & © PRH' is positioned to the left of the central design. The background field is finished in a prooflike silver tone, providing strong contrast to the coloured central motif. |
