1992 Solomon Islands Silver Proof $10 Coins - First Lunar Vehicle 1971
The 1992 Solomon Islands silver proof ten dollars commemorating the first lunar vehicle in 1971 must be one of the worst modern issue coins we have seen. The obverse looks so undefined and weak that the coin appears at first glance to be a badly made fake, our photographs make it look better than in the flesh. The original Maklouf engraving is good, and we have seen it on many coin issues from the UL and Commonwealth countries. For some reason on this coin, it lack definition, and although the hair lines are quite sharp, they are rather crude. From some angles The Queen looks like a ghost.
The reverse is not as bad, but we cannot understand what excuse some marketing person used to issue a coin in 1992 commemorating an event in 1971, except perhaps it was the 21st birthday of the lunar explorer.
