(x) Government of the British Solomon Islands, £1, 18th December 1916, serial number A/1 02579,
An exceptionally rare and historically significant note from the British Solomon Islands, this £1 features a vivid blue design and represents a very short-lived issuance of notes. The design itself is elegant and simple. Its scarcity is heightened by the fact that this example carries the first date of issue for its type, making it a desirable piece among collectors of rare Commonwealth notes.
