| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem, a pearl drop earring, and a pearl necklace, as modelled by Raphael David Maklouf. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left periphery and SOLOMON ISLANDS along the right periphery, both in raised Latin capitals. The date 2003 appears in the lower exergual area beneath the portrait. The mature, refined portrait presents the Queen in a dignified, classical style with fine surface detail throughout the mirror-like proof field. |

| Reverse description | A dynamic relief depiction of the supersonic Concorde aircraft in flight, rendered diagonally across the field from lower left to upper right against a stylised panoramic landscape of clouds, rivers, and terrain below. The aircraft's characteristic slender delta-wing silhouette and drooped nose are rendered with precision. The legend CONCORDE arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin capitals, while the denomination 25 DOLLARS appears in two lines in the lower central field. The design, engraved by Don Everhart, conveys speed and elegance within a finely detailed proof finish. |
