| Additional information |
Solomon Islands has issued commemorative coinage for major international sporting events since the 1990s, typically contracting production through the Pobjoy Mint or the Perth Mint rather than striking domestically. The 2006 FIFA World Cup hosted by Germany prompted a wave of licensed commemorative issues from Pacific island nations whose connection to the tournament was purely nominal — the licensing arrangement with FIFA allowed small sovereign issuers to generate revenue through collector sales rather than circulation.
KM# 346 is one of several World Cup issues Solomon Islands released that year.
