| Additional information |
The "Runner" belongs to Solomon Islands' early commemorative silver program, which the Central Bank used through the late 1980s and 1990s primarily as a foreign exchange vehicle — these coins were never intended for domestic circulation and were sold almost exclusively to overseas collectors and dealers. KM#48 is one of several sport-themed issues from this period tied loosely to regional athletics promotion in the Pacific.
