| Additional information |
The Solomon Islands has become a prolific issuer of commemorative pieces targeting the collector market rather than domestic circulation, and this issue fits squarely in that commercial category. Pocahontas and John Smith have been the subject of persistent historical mythologizing — the romantic narrative between them, popularized through centuries of retelling, is almost certainly fictional. She was approximately ten to twelve years old when the two met at Jamestown around 1607.
