| Obverse description | Uncrowned right-facing effigy of King Charles III occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with fine detail to the facial features and hair. The portrait, designed by Dominique Thiébaut and signed with the initials 'DT' in the lower field, depicts the King in civilian dress with a suit collar visible at the truncation. The peripheral legend, disposed along the upper and lower arcs of the heptagonal flan, reads 'CHARLES III · 2026 · SOLOMON ISLANDS' with the denomination '· 50 CENTS ·' inscribed along the lower arc. The coin is struck in gold-plated iron with a prooflike finish, giving the fields a bright mirror appearance. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a vibrant full-colour illustration evoking the Regency-era world of Jane Austen's novel 'Sense and Sensibility'. Two elegantly dressed young women, representing the Dashwood sisters Elinor and Marianne, are depicted in the central field in period costume, their figures set against a pastoral background featuring an ivy-clad country cottage and a yellow sky. Colourful floral motifs — including daffodils and white daisies — frame the left portion of the composition, while ornate gilt scrollwork decorates the lower field. The title 'Sense & Sensibility' is inscribed in flowing script across the upper portion of the design. A celebrated quotation from the novel — 'The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love' — is rendered in cursive script across the lower field. |
