| Reverse description | Two male relay runners in athletic attire depicted in dynamic mid-stride poses on a stylised running track, shown in the act of baton exchange, with the receiving runner wearing bib number 5. A tropical island landscape featuring palm trees is rendered in the central background between the two figures. The curved legend OLYMPIC GAMES 1996 arcs across the upper field, and the denomination 10 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower periphery. The design commemorates the Atlanta Summer Olympic Games of 1996. |

Issued to mark Solomon Islands' participation in the 1994 Commonwealth Games held in Victoria, British Columbia — the first Games to be hosted by Canada since the 1978 Edmonton edition. The relay runners series was part of a broader wave of Commonwealth commemoratives struck in sterling silver for the Pacific island nations during the early 1990s, most produced under contract by the Royal Mint or private minting houses rather than any domestic facility, as Solomon Islands has never operated its own mint.
