| Obverse description | Right-facing bare-headed effigy of King Charles III, modeled by engraver Dominique Thiébaut, occupying the central field of the heptagonal flan. The portrait shows the King in a suit and tie, rendered in fine relief with careful attention to facial detail. The legend CHARLES III · 2023 · SOLOMON ISLANDS arcs around the upper and lateral periphery, while the denomination 50 CENTS appears prominently in the lower exergue against a darkened background. The engraver's initials DT are incused discreetly below the portrait. |
