Silver Ounce 2016 Matryoshka, Coin from Solomon Islands
CoinSilver Ounce 2016 Matryoshka

Apart from its regular circulating coinage, Solomon Islands has authorised a number of private mints to issue collector coins in precious metals, which are legal tender in the country but are not intended for general circulation. Many of them are in standard bullion sizes - typically, one ounce of silver (abbreviated as 1 oz Ag, where "Ag" comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum). These are usually dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes not related to the country itself.

The 2016 Matryoshka 1oz silver coloured coin is the second issue in the Matryoshka series of coins with Russian themes.

Matryoshka dolls are a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size placed one inside another. The name matryoshka, literally "little matron", is a diminutive form of Russian female first name "Matryona" or "Matryosha".

Obverse
Solomon Islands / Silver Ounce 2016 Matryoshka - obverse photo

The obverse of the coin shows the crowned mature head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (her effigy known as the "Fourth Portrait"). The Queen wears the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland" diamond tiara, a wedding gift from Queen Mary (Her Majesty's grandmother) in 1947 - which she also has on the Machin and the Gottwald portraits.

In small letters below the head, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley).

Around the effigy is the monarch's legend and the face value: ELIZABETH II SOLOMON ISLANDS $5 1 oz Ag 999.

In the lower part of the obverse, on two lines in small letters, 1 oz Ag 999 (one troy ounce of 99.9% silver).
