Interesting fact
The USS Missouri coin from Solomon Islands features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and the USS Missouri battleship on the other. The coin's design is not only visually striking but also holds historical significance, as the USS Missouri was the site of the official Japanese Instrument of Surrender that ended World War II on September 2, 1945. This coin serves as a symbol of the end of a tragic chapter in world history and the beginning of a new era of peace.
