| Reverse description | The reverse features the official F1 1000 commemorative logo prominently displayed at the centre, celebrating the 1000th Formula One World Championship Grand Prix. Surrounding the central motif is the stylised skyline of Shanghai, host city of the milestone race. Inscribed throughout the field in small lettering are the names of all circuits and cities that have hosted a Formula One World Championship Grand Prix since the inaugural season in 1950, arranged in a continuous circular pattern around the periphery. The legend F1™ 1000 appears at the base of the design. |

| Additional information |
The "F1 1000" designation places this coin within a broader trend of Solomon Islands-issued commemoratives produced under license by European minting houses — the islands themselves have no domestic mint, and coins bearing their authority are struck almost entirely in facilities across Central Europe, principally in Poland and the Czech Republic. Solomon Islands has become one of the more prolific issuing authorities for the modern bullion and numismatic commemorative market precisely because its Crown status allows Royal assent through a streamlined licensing arrangement.
At 77.8 grams of .999 silver, the specification corresponds to 2.5 troy ounces — a format common among Central European-produced commemoratives in the late 2010s.
