| Additional information |
The magnetic variety of this dollar emerged when the Royal Australian Mint — which has produced coinage for Solomon Islands since the nation's independence in 1978 — transitioned to nickel-plated steel as a cost-cutting measure during a period of rising global nickel prices. The KM#72a designation distinguishes it from the non-magnetic cupro-nickel predecessor, a split that collectors frequently exploit with a simple magnet to attribute examples found in mixed lots.
