| Additional information |
Part of a novelty series almost certainly licensed through a board game intellectual property arrangement, this piece has no monetary policy rationale and was struck purely for the collector novelty market — a category the Solomon Islands has leaned into heavily since the 1990s as a revenue stream independent of circulation coinage. The Royal Australian Mint and several private minting houses have fulfilled similar contracts for Pacific island nations whose legal-tender designations carry more commercial than practical weight.
