Silver Two Ounces 2022 Stegosaurus, Coin from Solomon Islands - detailed information

Silver Two Ounces 2022 Stegosaurus, Coin from Solomon Islands
CoinSilver Two Ounces 2022 Stegosaurus

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 2022 2 oz Stegosaurus Silver Coin is the second in a three-coin series named Dinosaurs of North America, which includes three coins shaped like dinosaurs that formerly roamed the world in North America.

The spiky, plated dinosaur has a brain the size of a walnut but can measure up to 10 metres long and five metres tall. This giant beast is commonly known for the plates on its back and spikes on its tail, protecting it from predators.

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, the date of issue and the value: ELIZABETH II SOLOMON ISLANDS 5 DOLLARS 2022.

The portrait and the surrounding rim with the inscription are small and at the centre of the obverse. The rest represents the skeleton of the dinosaur.

Below the portrait, the precious metal content: 2 OZ 999.9 Ag (two troy ounces of 99.99% silver).

On the left, in the lower part of the dinosaur's neck, the unique serial number of the coin.
