Comment
Coins is very similar to silver-plated 20c, the difference is only colour (gold vs silver) and denomination. All other details are similar.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 50 Cents - Charles III (Concorde) 2023 from Solomon Islands is that it features an image of the Concorde supersonic jet on its reverse side, which is a unique design choice for a coin. The Concorde was a British-French supersonic jet that was in service from 1976 to 2003, and it was known for its distinctive drooping nose and delta wing design. The inclusion of this image on the coin adds an element of aviation history and technology to the design, making it stand out from other coins.
