Gallipoli remembrance issues have multiplied across Pacific and Commonwealth mints since the ANZAC centenary cycle began in 2015, and Solomon Islands has issued repeatedly in this space for the collector market rather than domestic circulation. Black nickel plating on an iron core is a finishing technique borrowed from the challenge coin and medallion trade — it has no precedent in traditional coinage and exists purely to differentiate shelf product.
