| Additional information |
Part of a broader Vatican-themed devotional series produced for the collector market, this issue draws on the long tradition of Catholic missionary influence across the Solomon Islands, where Christianity — predominantly Anglican and Catholic — took hold during the late nineteenth century and remains central to national identity. The coins in this series are struck by or for private minting houses and distributed through numismatic channels rather than the Central Bank of Solomon Islands' regular coinage program.
