Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Peter the Great, the Russian tsar who ruled from 1682 to 1725, on the reverse side, despite being issued by the Solomon Islands. This is because the Solomon Islands, a country located in the Pacific Ocean, was a German colony from 1893 to 1914, and Peter the Great was a prominent figure in Russian history, not directly related to the Solomon Islands. This coin was likely issued as a way to commemorate the legacy of Peter the Great and promote cultural exchange between Russia and the Solomon Islands.
