Silver Ounce 2021 Spirit Animals - Bison, Coin from Solomon Islands
CoinSilver Ounce 2021 Spirit Animals - Bison

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 Mint says about this coin:
Faithfully reproducing original artwork by acclaimed, Colorado-based artist Phil Lewis, the three coins of the Spirit Animal series take inspiration from cultural traditions across the globe that honour animals for their distinctive and motivating qualities, as well as the artist’s own encounters and experiences with these noble beasts. The Bison is the final coin in the Spirit Animals series. Artist Phil Lewis pays homage to this beautiful and strong animal that has all but been eradicated. This original design captures the powerful synergy between land and animal in a 1oz pure silver legal tender coin. Engraved and applied with vibrant colour, this coin captures the amazing details of this unique work of art.

Individually serialised, this design has a limited mintage of only 2,500 coins.

Obverse

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 · 2 DOLLARS · 1 OZ AG 999.9 · 2021.

The inscription also includes the precious metal content; 1 OZ 999.9 Ag means "one troy ounce of 99.99% silver". The date of issue is above left, and the unique serial number of the coin is above right.
