Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 1 Dollar - Elizabeth II (Blue Horse) 2015 from Solomon Islands is that it features a unique design of a blue horse on the reverse side, which is not a common motif in coin design. The use of a blue horse on the coin may have been chosen to represent strength, courage, and grace, as these are qualities often associated with horses. Additionally, the use of silver plating on copper gives the coin a distinctive shine and adds to its collectibility.
