| Additional information |
The Bookworm is part of a broader novelty series issued under the Solomon Islands' external licensing arrangement, where the nominal issuer has no meaningful role in design, production, or distribution. These pieces are manufactured for the collector market by private minting operations — in this case almost certainly out of Central Europe — with the island nation's name providing legal tender status at negligible face value.
At 50 grams of copper with flash gold plating, this was never intended for circulation.
