2025 Solomon Islands Dollar - Different Versions?

Hello forum members, the purpose of this post is to address a question about the $1 coin issued this year for the Solomon Islands.

N#441954

This coin is shown on Numista where the obverse bears the legends “ONE DOLLAR • 2025 • CHARLES III • SOLOMON ISLANDS •”. 

I recently bought a 1 Dollar coin from this country, but the legends are different, this one says “CHARLES III • SOLOMON ISLANDS 2025".

I would appreciate it if you could help me find out what the final design was or if they are different designs.

Current pictures on the Numista page are not photos of an actual coin but only a design drawing. Let's wait and see other actual coins on sale websites before saying that there are several varieties.

If I had that coin I would upload an image of the actual coin and change the lettering field to match the coin.

A more deliberate approach would be to ask the Central Bank of Solomon Islands. The evidence I see on their web site is that the Numista entry is wrong. Search for Charles and the current first entry is a press release on the launch. The press release doesn't have an image, but the search results page does. Zooming in the coin appears to match the coin in this topic and not the Numista entry. But that doesn't mean there's only one design.

But the press release page does have an e-mail address to get more information.

(I don't like Numista pages made with design drawings.)
