| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic and emotive scene of the RMS Titanic in her final moments, shown in high relief tilting sharply as she founders in a blue-colored sea, with her massive hull, four funnels, and propeller rendered in fine detail. The name TITANIC and port of registry LIVERPOOL are inscribed on the ship's bow. In the background, a color-applied globe centered on the North Atlantic Ocean fills the upper field, with the date 15 04 1912 inscribed above the ship against the globe. In the lower foreground, a group of survivors is depicted in a lifeboat, rendered in stark relief. A twisted rope border frames the entire design, and the legend REMEMBERING THE RMS TITANIC arcs across the upper rim. The geographic coordinates of the wreck site, 41° 43' 55" N, 49° 56' 45" W, are inscribed in the lower right field. |

| Additional information |
The Solomon Islands has operated as a prolific issuer of themed commemorative silver for the collector market since the 1990s, with pieces like this bearing no meaningful connection to the nation beyond its licensing arrangement with private minting houses — primarily the Scottsdale Mint and several European producers. The Titanic sank in April 1912 after striking an iceberg approximately 375 miles south of Newfoundland, with 1,517 lives lost.
The wreck was located by Robert Ballard in 1985 at roughly 3,800 meters depth.
