In 1976, Concorde entered commercial service, redefining air travel and securing its place as one of the most remarkable engineering achievements of the 20th century. Capable of flying at twice the speed of sound, Concorde became a lasting symbol of innovation, precision and Anglo-French collaboration.

This officially issued 2026 legal tender coin marks the 50th anniversary of Concorde’s historic debut. Struck to a proof-like finish, the 50mm coin is gold plated and enhanced with full colour, featuring Concorde in flight alongside commemorative anniversary detailing. The obverse bears the effigy of King Charles III, confirming its status as legal tender of the Solomon Islands.
