| Obverse description | The diademed and draped effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II faces right in the upper left field, set against a highly detailed high-relief rendering of the interior of the Chapel of Our Lady of Penha, Macau. The altar area is depicted with flanking angel figures bearing candelabra, a central crowned statue of the Virgin and Child upon a pedestal, and a Gothic-arched architectural surround with a cross above the nave. A circular color-printed insert, positioned in the upper right, reproduces the chapel's celebrated stained-glass rose window depicting the Virgin Mary in glory, flanked by angels, with the Holy Spirit as a dove and the Christ Child below. The peripheral legend along the upper rim reads ELIZABETH II SOLOMON ISLANDS 8 DOLLARS 999 FINE SILVER 3oz. |
