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 Horned Owl Silver Coin is the third and final issue in the Hunters of the Sky Series from PAMP Suisse, which features coins shaped as the flying predators they depict.
The Mint says about it:
Engineered by Nature for flight, speed, and stealth, birds of prey are indeed magnificent creatures that have captured humankind’s collective imagination for millennia. This pure silver, legal tender coin series features three exceptional designs with the Great Horned Owl as the final issue.
Each coin has been meticulously minted in fine detail and precisely shaped to represent its namesake bird, a coin collecting first! Individually serialised, secured within custom capsules, and accompanied by fact-filled Certificates of Authenticity, each design is limited to a mintage of 2,500 coins worldwide. |
