Informazioni aggiuntive	The Solomon Islands began issuing commemorative silver dollars in the 1970s largely at the initiative of the Franklin Mint, which struck several early series for Pacific island nations seeking hard currency revenue. By the mid-1990s, the program had shifted toward wildlife themes tied to the country's genuine biodiversity — the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) is not decorative fauna here; it inhabits the islands' river systems and remains a documented cause of human fatalities in the region to this day.
