| Additional information |
The "Electric Fox" belongs to Solomon Islands' long-running practice of licensing its sovereign coinage rights to European bullion dealers — primarily through the Pobjoy Mint and later through dealers operating via the Perth Mint and others — producing coins that will never circulate in Honiara and are designed entirely for the international collector market. The Solomon Islands' nominal face value is a legal fiction; the actual market is European and North American hobbyists.
Fine silver at .9999 purity rather than the more common .999 places this in a category of issues specifically targeting buyers who treat coin purchases as a near-equivalent to silver bar ownership.
