| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, with the engraver's initials IRB incuse below the truncation. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH II to the left and SOLOMON ISLANDS 1000 DOLLARS to the right, with the date 2023 in the lower field. This effigy, issued posthumously as a tribute to HM Queen Elizabeth II, retains the fourth definitive portrait used on Commonwealth coinage from 1998 onward. |

Formula 1's commercial rights have been held by Liberty Media since 2017, and the sport's aggressive licensing push into bullion collectibles accelerated sharply after that acquisition. The Solomon Islands, which issues legal tender through arrangements with private mints rather than through any domestic monetary infrastructure, appears here in its familiar role as a jurisdiction of convenience — the nominal issuer of a coin that will never approach its shores.
At a kilogram of .9999 gold, the metal content alone places this well above most collectors' markets. The F1 Champions theme situates it within a broader series rather than commemorating a single title or season.
