Description
Solomon Islands, proof sterling silver five dollars, Olympics 2000 issue, rev. 'Kenny Kangaroo' cycling. FDC and extremely rare.
This is one of only 30 pieces struck in error by Valcambi, Switzerland. The obverse features an erroneous italic script which was later changed to the planned conventional (straight) lettering for that production run. Most of the mintage of 30 have been distributed worldwide as trade samples or initial orders, several sent to the Central Bank of Solomon Islands for their records.
