50 Cents - Elizabeth II For Heroes and Horses

The "For Heroes and Horses" series commemorates the working horses of World War I — animals that served in artillery haulage, cavalry, and supply lines across multiple fronts, with the British Army alone requisitioning over 165,000 horses in the first weeks of the war. A century on, the Solomon Islands has become a reliable vehicle for this kind of low-mintage commemorative, issuing coins with no domestic circulation relevance under licensing arrangements that effectively make the islands a mint-mark-of-convenience for the international collector market.
