Additional information

This piece belongs to a series issued by Solomon Islands that uses the country's currency denominations as a nominal framework for small-format silver collector coins — a structure with no relationship to actual circulation. The "Berlin" designation places it within a cities-themed subset, a collector program with no monetary or historical connection to the issuing nation.

At 2.5g of .999 silver, it's a bullion-adjacent novelty rather than a serious numismatic issue.
