| Additional information |
Trajan's reign (98–117 AD) marked the greatest territorial extent of the Roman Empire, and his Dacian campaigns — fought in two brutal wars ending in 106 AD — were commemorated on the column that still stands in Rome. This Solomon Islands piece belongs to a crowded modern market of silver-plated base-metal issues targeting collector series rather than circulation, a format that expanded sharply after 2010 as Pacific island nations monetized their issuing authority.
