Additional information

Solomon Islands has become a reliable vehicle for themed collector issues produced under licensing arrangements with major international brands, and this piece falls squarely into that category. The Formula 1 license has been applied to coins struck for several Pacific island jurisdictions simultaneously during the mid-2010s, making the Solomon Islands attribution largely nominal — production almost certainly originated in a European private mint rather than any facility under Central Bank oversight.

The 77.75g specification corresponds to 2.5 troy ounces, a format common to the oversized commemorative market of that period.
