| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a sprawling category of modern commemorative issues produced under license for Solomon Islands — a sovereign whose name appears on coinage it neither commissions for circulation nor distributes domestically. The actual minting almost certainly occurred in a private facility in Europe or Asia, with Solomon Islands' nominal authority serving administrative rather than monetary purposes.
The Mexico connection likely references the 1968 Summer Olympics, the 1986 FIFA World Cup, or a specific numismatic anniversary — but without confirmed documentation on KM# 604's stated subject, nothing more specific can be responsibly added.
