| Reverse description | Detailed high-relief portrait bust of Finnish Formula One racing driver Mika Häkkinen facing slightly left and occupying the right portion of the reverse field, depicted wearing a racing suit with collar detail visible. To the left of the portrait, two laurel wreaths are rendered in the upper field above the inscriptions. The legend 'MIKA HÄKKINEN' is prominently engraved in the left field, below which appears 'WORLD CHAMPION' and the championship years '1998, 1999'. The mint master marks 'CM' and 'Pp' appear to the right, near the lower portion of the portrait. |

| Additional information |
Mika Häkkinen won back-to-back Formula One World Championships in 1998 and 1999, both times driving for McLaren-Mercedes, and retired from competitive racing in 2001 at the peak of his abilities — a decision that surprised the sport. The Solomon Islands has become a reliable vehicle for themed numismatic issues aimed squarely at the collector market, with no meaningful circulation intended.
