| Obverse description |
Right-facing bare-headed effigy of King Charles III occupies the central field, rendered in high relief after the portrait by Dominic Thomas, whose initials 'DT' appear in the lower right field. The surrounding legend, arranged along the upper and lower periphery of the heptagonal flan, reads 'CHARLES III · 2026 · SOLOMON ISLANDS' above and '· 50 CENTS ·' below. The coin's gold-plated finish imparts a warm, lustrous appearance to both the portrait and the polished field. |
| Reverse description |
Full-colour depiction of the three Beatrix Potter characters Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-Tail, shown gathered around a plate of mince pies in a scene evoking a festive Christmas setting. The three rabbits, dressed in white pinafores, are rendered in the distinctive watercolour style characteristic of the original Beatrix Potter illustrations. They are framed within an elaborate wreath of holly, pine, berries, and colourful Christmas baubles in red, blue, and gold, which encircles the entire reverse field. The inscription 'HOPPY CHRISTMAS' appears in the upper right field, with the trademark and copyright notice '™ & © FW & Co., 2025' immediately below. |
