| Additional information |
Cherbourg fell to British and Hanoverian forces under the Duke of Marlborough's nephew, the Duke of Cumberland's subordinate Ferdinand of Brunswick, in August 1758 — one of the few tangible British successes in the early land campaigns of the Seven Years' War. The raid destroyed the harbor's basin and its sluice gates, a deliberate act of strategic denial that took years to repair.
This Solomon Islands issue belongs to a sprawling commemorative program tied to the reign of Charles III rather than any genuine connection to the Pacific nation minting it.
