| Additional information |
Issued as part of the wave of posthumous commemoratives that flooded Commonwealth mints following Elizabeth II's death in September 2022, this piece belongs to a category of low-cost silver-plated issues aimed squarely at the souvenir and entry-level collector market. The Solomon Islands has long served as an issuing authority for third-party minting operations — the Central Bank lending its name to products with no meaningful connection to domestic circulation or monetary policy.
Iron substrate beneath the plating makes these pieces susceptible to corrosion if the plating is breached.
