| Reverse description | A naturalistic depiction of a flamingo feeding at the water's edge, its long neck curved downward with the beak submerged, standing on rocky shallows with a calm lake and distant landscape in the background, all rendered in gilt against a warm golden field. To the right, a vertical panel with a contrasting silver finish features bare branching vegetation in relief, alongside the vertical inscription FLAMINGO in gilt letters. The bicolour treatment creates a striking contrast between the two sections of the heptagonal flan. |

| Additional information |
The flamingo series from Solomon Islands continues a well-established Pacific island mint program of wildlife-themed collector issues produced under licensing arrangements — the coins bear no meaningful connection to Solomon Islands' own fauna or monetary history. Silver-plated iron rather than cupro-nickel signals this was produced strictly for the novelty collector market, with iron cores keeping unit costs low at volume.
