2 Dollars

The 1986 Solomon Islands 2 Dollar note belongs to the second series issued after independence in 1978, when the Solomon Islands dollar replaced the Australian dollar at par. Thomas De La Rue handled the entire series, as they did for most Pacific island nations emerging from British colonial administration during this period — the relationship was essentially inherited infrastructure.

Pick 13 is the less-encountered variety within the series; later printings and signature varieties attract more collector attention, making this earlier issue quietly undervalued.
