| Additional information |
The 1983 issue marks the 30th anniversary of Elizabeth II's coronation, a jubilee observed across Commonwealth mints with varying degrees of numismatic ambition. Solomon Islands gained independence only in 1978, meaning this coin was struck by a nation that had existed for just five years — the coronation it commemorates predates the issuer's own sovereignty by a quarter century.
