| Additional information |
The Solomon Islands has issued legal tender collector coins under licensing arrangements for decades, with the Crown series and various pop-culture issues produced almost entirely for the novelty market rather than domestic circulation. This piece belongs squarely in that category — a gold-plated iron novelty whose iron core makes it essentially uncollectable by traditional numismatic standards, as the base metal is prone to corrosion beneath the plating.
