The date 2021 appears in the lower field, and the engraver's initials IRB are incused beneath the portrait truncation. |

| Additional information |
Issued under Solomon Islands' long-standing arrangement as a licensing authority for commemorative bullion programs, this piece has no meaningful connection to the nation's economy or monetary history — the islands have never hosted a Formula 1 race, and the face value is purely nominal against the silver content. Solomon Islands has served this function for dozens of themed collector series since the 1990s, functioning in practice as a mint-neutral issuing name attached to silver rounds dressed as legal tender.
