| Additional information |
The Solomon Islands has issued commemorative coinage under royal warrant since independence in 1978, and by the 2010s had become a prolific producer of themed collector pieces marketed primarily through European distributors. This half dollar — silver-plated copper rather than sterling — sits squarely in that category: a licensed product timed to the global flood of Apollo 11 anniversary releases in 2019, the fiftieth year since the July 1969 lunar landing.
