| Beschrijving keerzijde | High-relief antiqued scene depicting the dramatic encounter between Captain John Smith and Pocahontas, rendered in a deeply sculpted figural composition across the central field. Multiple figures are shown in dynamic interaction, including Native American warriors, a kneeling European figure, and a female figure intervening, all set against a naturalistic background with foliage and rocks. The curved upper legend reads ★ CAPTAIN SMITH AND POCAHONTAS ★, while the lower legend reads STRIPES AND BRIGHT STARS, both separated from the central scene by raised ruled borders. Decorative Greek key and geometric ornamental bands frame the upper and lower edges of the reverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Solomon Islands has issued a considerable volume of commemorative copper-alloy coinage through licensed distributors targeting the collector market rather than domestic circulation. This piece belongs squarely to that category — a numismatic product with no organic connection to the colonial Jamestown story it references. John Smith's account of Pocahontas saving his life, almost certainly embellished or wholly invented, has driven centuries of romanticized retelling that continues to sell merchandise, including apparently, coins struck in the Pacific.
