| Additional information |
The Oceanus series, issued under a broader wave of titanium collector pieces from Pacific island nations in the 2010s, uses Solomon Islands' nominal issuing authority largely as a licensing arrangement — the coins were never intended for circulation and have no practical monetary role in Honiara. Titanium at this specification presents genuine striking challenges: the metal's hardness and springback resistance mean die life is sharply reduced compared to silver, and surface detail fidelity varies noticeably across the production run.
