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 - Elizabeth II (Concorde) 2019 from Solomon Islands made of Gold (.999) plated iron weighing 8.5 g is that it features an image of the Concorde supersonic jet on its reverse side. The Concorde was a British-French turbojet-powered supersonic jet that was in service from 1976 to 2003, and it was known for its ability to travel at speeds up to Mach 2.04 (1,354 mph or 2,180 km/h) and its distinctive drooping nose. The coin's design serves as a tribute to this iconic aircraft and its contributions to aviation history.
