| Additional information |
Diana, Princess of Wales died in August 1997, and the decades since have produced an almost uncountable volume of commemorative issues from small island nations with no historical connection to her whatsoever. The Solomon Islands, a Commonwealth member whose mint output is handled entirely by overseas private minting houses, falls squarely into this category. These pieces are bullion-adjacent collectibles sold direct to collector markets, with no genuine circulation intent.
One troy ounce of .999 silver is doing most of the work here.
