| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem, with a pearl drop earring and necklace visible, rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The portrait is the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy, standard to Commonwealth coinage of this period. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left, SOLOMON ISLANDS along the upper right, and the date 2008 appears in the lower exergue. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a solemn commemorative design centred on the silhouetted figure of a First World War soldier standing at a grave marked by a cross, rendered in polished relief against a mirrored field. To the left, a collage of wartime newspaper headlines — including partial legends such as ANOTHER SPLENDID VICTORY, ALLIES ADVANCE, and DAILY NEWS GREAT SIEGES — fills the field in a layered, archival style. The composition evokes the human cost and contemporary media coverage of the Great War. The denomination 25 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower right arc in upright Latin lettering. |
