Obverse description Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the George IV State Diadem, as sculpted by Ian Rank-Broadley. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field, with fine detail in the hair and crown. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left periphery, and SOLOMON ISLANDS curves along the upper right. The date 2000 appears in the lower field beneath the truncation, and the engraver's initials IRB are incuse below the bust.
