Solomon Islands - Silver $10 Proof Crown

This is something I came across while surfing the globe:

The Solomon Islands were a British Protectorate from 1893 to 1976, when the Islands became self-governing, then in 1978 fully independent. Ethnic violence and other problems undermined and destabilised its society until the Prime Minister requested Australian assistance in 2003 to restore peace under a multi-national force
As a member of the British Commonwealth, Solomon Islands issued the ten dollar coin shown to celebrate the Queen's golden wedding anniversary.
