The curved legend '2018 FIFA WORLD CUP RUSSIA™' arcs along the upper periphery, and the denomination '$1' appears in the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Zabivaka, the anthropomorphic wolf mascot designed by student Ekaterina Bocharova from over 6,000 competition entries, was the official symbol of the 2018 FIFA World Cup held in Russia. The Solomon Islands had no footballing connection to the tournament — this is a straightforward bullion-adjacent souvenir issue, one of dozens struck by various small-nation mints capitalizing on FIFA licensing rights in the lead-up to Russia 2018.
