| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a sprawling category of modern commemorative issues struck for Pacific island nations — Solomon Islands among the most prolific — where the issuing central bank licenses its name to a third-party mint, typically in Europe, with no expectation the coins will ever circulate. The "1/2 Dollar" denomination bears no relationship to any currency actually used in Solomon Islands, which has issued the Solomon Islands dollar since 1977.
