| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear in small letters below the truncation of the neck. The legend ELIZABETH II curves along the upper left periphery, followed by the date 2023 and SOLOMON ISLANDS along the upper right periphery. The denomination 50 CENTS appears in the lower field, with decorative dots punctuating the legend. The portrait is rendered in fine relief against a polished field within the characteristic equilateral curve heptagonal flan. |

Issued under a post-mortem licensing arrangement, this piece belongs to a wave of low-denomination collectibles the Solomon Islands authorized in the months following Elizabeth II's death in September 2022 — a prolific category that has drawn criticism from serious collectors for diluting the commemorative market. The Disney connection requires a separate commercial license, making these joint-issue novelty pieces among the more administratively complex of the type despite their modest production values.
