10 Dollars - Elizabeth II Sacré-Cœur Basilica

The Basilica of Sacré-Cœur was built on Montmartre partly as an act of national penance — French Catholics attributed the humiliating defeat in the Franco-Prussian War and the violence of the Paris Commune to moral failure, and construction began in 1875 as a direct consequence of that theology. It wasn't consecrated until 1919, delayed by the First World War. Solomon Islands has issued numerous large-format silver pieces under Elizabeth II targeting the commemorative collector market, a revenue stream common among smaller Pacific sovereignties with no particular connection to the subject matter.
