| Reverse description | The fully colored reverse depicts a vibrant scene from the Disney animated film Pinocchio. In the foreground, the wooden puppet Pinocchio is shown from behind, wearing his distinctive yellow hat with a red feather, gazing upward into a swirling cloud-filled sky. Jiminy Cricket is depicted airborne in the upper portion of the field, clutching a small red umbrella and rendered in bright polychrome enamel against a pale yellow background accented with white stars. The word DISNEY appears in stylized script lettering at the top of the reverse field, and the copyright notice ©Disney is inscribed in the lower left. The gold-plated border frames the colorful scene with a scalloped inner rim consistent with the heptagonal format. |

| Additional information |
The Solomon Islands has issued novelty coinage under licensing arrangements with major IP holders for decades, functioning more as a collectibles vehicle than a monetary instrument. Disney character issues of this type are produced in bulk by private minting houses — most commonly the Bald Eagle-era partnerships routed through European contract minters — and see no meaningful circulation.
Charles III's effigy appearing on a Pinocchio-themed piece is a small oddity of timing: his coronation in May 2023 meant a rushed redesign cycle across all Commonwealth-affiliated commemorative programs.
