| Additional information |
The Solomon Islands has issued a steady stream of wildlife-themed coinage under foreign minting contracts, most of which have no circulation function whatsoever — struck for the collector market and legally denominated at figures no one would spend. This piece falls squarely in that category, produced under Charles III's reign for export sale rather than domestic use.
