  3. Official Launch: The new banknote will be officially launched ahead of the XVII Pacific Games 2023. A tentative launch date is planned for 27 October 2023. Once unveiled, it will then be widely circulated for use throughout the Solomon Islands as a $10 denomination. 
  4. Tradition of Commemorative Banknotes: The CBSI has a longstanding tradition of issuing commemorative banknotes to mark pivotal moments in the country’s history. This practice reflects the central bank’s commitment and support for the Solomon Islands Government and its people, as well as its dedication to welcoming participating countries to the XVII Pacific Games 2023. 
  5. Collector’s Item: The commemorative banknote is not only a means of celebrating the event but also an ideal collector’s item. These banknotes come in limited editions and can be cherished and passed down through generations, making them valuable tokens of the nation’s history. 
  6. Promoting National Pride: CBSI’s initiative to release this commemorative banknote is aligned with its commitment to promoting national pride and preserving the unique cultural heritage of the Solomon Islands.
