| Reverse description | A full-color commemorative design from the War Poppy Collection depicting a foreground of vivid red poppies growing from rocky coastal ground, with a grey-toned seascape behind showing naval warships sailing through choppy waters beneath an overcast sky. The scene evokes remembrance of those who served at sea during wartime. The legend WAR POPPY COLLECTION is inscribed in the upper field within a double rule border. The striking color application contrasts with the silver-toned beveled heptagonal rim. |

| Additional information |
The Solomon Islands has issued commemorative coinage through the Perth Mint and various European minting houses since the 1970s, producing themed series well beyond the needs of domestic circulation. This piece belongs to that category entirely — a collectible struck for the international numismatic market with no meaningful circulating role in Honiara.
Silver-plated iron rather than solid silver keeps production costs low enough for high-volume collector series.
