| Additional information |
The Lunar New Year series issued under Commonwealth authority has become a reliable revenue mechanism for smaller Pacific sovereignties, with Solomon Islands among several nations that license their name to bullion programs they have no hand in producing. These pieces are struck by private mints — most frequently in Australia or China — and distributed through dealer networks with no meaningful connection to the issuing territory.
The Year of the Horse falls in 2026 under the Chinese sexagenary cycle, making this a forward-dated issue almost certainly struck in 2025.
