Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and the HMS Golden Hinde on the other. The HMS Golden Hinde was a galleon that was part of Sir Francis Drake's fleet during his circumnavigation of the world in the late 16th century. The coin's design serves as a nod to the rich history and maritime heritage of the Solomon Islands.
