| Reverse description | A fully armoured Roman legionary soldier rendered in gilt high relief stands centrally, facing three-quarters left, holding a spear upright in his left hand and a rectangular scutum shield in his right, wearing a crested galea helmet with plume. The red field behind him is decorated with multiple gilt aquila (legionary eagle) standards surmounting SPQR tablet inscriptions arranged symmetrically. An inner border of gilt laurel branches encircles the central composition, with a reeded outer ring. The legend 'ROMAN LEGION' arcs across the upper portion of the field within the laurel border. |

| Additional information |
The Solomon Islands has issued numismatic pieces under its authority since independence in 1978, but its collector series have no connection to the depicted subjects — the islands saw no Roman presence, and the legion theme is purely a licensing and marketing decision by a European mint operating under Pacific island issuing agreements that offer favorable terms for novelty production.
