In Celebration of the 17th Pacific Games

The Central Bank of Solomon Islands has announced plans to issue a new commemorative $10 banknote printed on SAFEGUARD® polymer by De La Rue. The new $10 note has been produced to commemorate the XVII Pacific Games 2023, which will be held for the first time in the Solomon Islands in November 2023.

1 million of the limited edition notes will be produced, and officially launched ahead of the Games. They will be widely circulated for use throughout the Solomon Islands.

The design on the front of the current $10 is being retained, but will also include a window feature with the image of an eagle’s head (which appears as the watermark of the paper version).
