Additional information

The Solomon Islands has issued commemorative dollar pieces under Elizabeth II's effigy since the 1970s, but by the late 2000s the program had expanded aggressively into the devotional and religious collector market — a deliberate revenue strategy by Pacific island mints licensing their issuing authority to European distributors. This Archangel Michael piece is part of that wave, struck in silver-plated copper-nickel rather than sterling, a composition common to high-volume commemorative runs aimed at gift buyers rather than serious numismatists.
