| Additional information |
The Solomon Islands has issued fantasy-denomination "half dollar" pieces under licensing arrangements that have nothing to do with the islands' actual currency or monetary history — these are collector medallions in legal tender dress, struck for the international novelty market. The Harry Potter franchise licensing for such issues is handled through Warner Bros. arrangements with private minting houses, typically in Eastern Europe, with the issuing authority providing nominal legal cover.
Gold-plated iron rather than silver or base alloy signals a cost structure aimed at gift buyers, not numismatists.
