Additional information

VE Day commemoratives flood the market annually, and most are struck in base metal with a silver wash for collectors who want the look without the premium. This piece is unambiguous about what it is — iron core, silver plating — which at least puts it in honest company with the broader modern Pacific island commemorative trade, where sovereign issuing rights are licensed to overseas minting houses producing pieces that will never see the Solomon Islands.
