| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central colored applique rendered in deep red tones depicting a bearded bust of Marco Polo facing three-quarters left, holding a book or journal, with a stylized map of Asia in the background and a Chinese junk sailing vessel to the right amid stylized waves. A decorative beaded inner border frames the colored insert, with additional relief elements of feathers or foliage extending beyond the border into the polished silver field. The legend MARCO POLO arcs across the upper field in bold raised letters, flanked by two small star ornaments, and the date 2024 appears in the lower field below the beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Marco Polo's account of the Solomon Islands — relayed in his Travels as a gold-rich archipelago somewhere in the eastern seas — helped fuel European obsession with the Pacific for two centuries before anyone confirmed the islands existed. When Álvaro de Mendaña finally reached them in 1568, he named them after the biblical King Solomon's mines, convinced he'd found the source of that legendary wealth. He found no gold. The Pacific islands coin market has long favored large-format silver issues with thematic hooks; the Mendaña connection alone justifies this pairing.
