Red and violet engraving carries the Solomon Islands flag through basket-weave pattern, fish movement and the old craft of shell money.

Design & Symbolism

Obverse

The obverse places the Solomon Islands flag at the centre, with the national coat of arms to the right and fishing floats, fish carvings and basket-weave designs worked into the surrounding pattern. The abstract background is not only decorative: it recalls the movement of shoals of fish and gives the note a maritime texture suited to an island economy shaped by the sea.

Reverse

The reverse centres on a woman making shell money, holding a traditional drilling tool beside a string of shell currency. This scene gives the 10 Dollars a strong cultural foundation, connecting modern printed money with older forms of value, craft and exchange in the eastern Solomon Islands.

Collector’s Insight

For collectors, this 10 Dollars note belongs to the Solomon Islands 2017-2022 circulation family printed by De La Rue, with the later P-33(2) variety linked in The Banknote Book to the Forau and Dentana signature combination and the A/4-A/6 prefix range. The A/6 prefix places this note within that later range, while the red-to-green StarChrome windowed security thread with demetalized CBSI 10, falcon head watermark, electrotype CBSI and cornerstones provide clear authentication markers for the issue.
