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 Fender®75th Anniversary 1oz Silver Guitar Pick Coin is part of coin series from PAMP Suisse, which features coins shaped as the objects they depict.
The Mint says about it:
The world's first-ever Fender selectively colourised, 1oz pure silver legal tender collectible coin! The Fender brand is widely recognised as one of the best in the music industry. Fender guitars have been used by musicians all over the world, transforming music in every major genre including country and western, jazz, rhythm and blues and the most popular rock 'n' roll.
Now, for the first time ever, music enthusiasts can own a piece of music history with this anniversary edition, legal tender coin, precisely replicated as the classic Fender guitar pick in one ounce of selectively colourised .999 fine silver. Limited to a mintage of 2,500 pieces worldwide, each Fender guitar pick-shaped coin is individually serialised and presented within a special 75th Anniversary presentation box. |
