CoinSilver Two Ounces 2022 Elephant of the First Chakra

Apart from its regular circulating coinage, Solomon Islands has authorised a number of 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 - including two ounces of silver (abbreviated as 2 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 2oz Pure Silver Elephant of the First Chakra Coin is part of a series by PAMP Suisse based on the Seven Chakras by artist Phil Lewis.

The mint says about it:
Ideologies of the chakras have existed for centuries and the depth of wisdom surrounding them is immense. Phil Lewis has based his artistic interpretations of each chakra in this series following a random order depending on what inspired him at a moment in time.

Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning “wheel”, which represents the energy flow within the body. It is believed that the energy flows from the top of the head to the bottom of the spine. The first Chakra, also known as “Muladhara” meaning “root”, is located at the base of the spine. If your root chakra is aligned you should feel grounded, secure, and centred. The first chakra is associated with the red colour, which symbolises the earth element.

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 · 5 DOLLARS · 2 OZ AG 999.9 · 2022.

The inscription also includes the precious metal content; 2 OZ 999.9 AG means "two troy ounces of 99.99% silver". The date of issue is above, and the unique serial number of the coin is below.
