Dice are traditionally designed like cubes with six faces, each of which bears a different set of dots representing an integer from one to six. There is no written record that precisely dates the first construction and use of dice. The ancient Romans were said to be huge fans of gambling and countless examples of Roman dice have been excavated from all corners of the empire.
The ancient Romans can’t exactly lay claim to the invention of dice though. Ancient Egyptians were said to play a game known as Senet that was used with an early two-sided version of dice. The Egyptians played Senet from before the year 3000 BC through the 2nd century AD. Other examples include bone dice excavated that date back to 3100 BC and terracotta dice excavated that date to 2500 BC.
Queen Elizabeth II is featured in the traditional Ian Rank-Broadley design on the fifth side of the 2021 2 oz Solomon Islands Dice Silver Coin. Her effigy replaces the five dots representing that integer and comes with inscriptions of the nation of issue, face value, date, weight, purity, and metal content, as well as the name of the monarch.
The other five sides of the 2021 Solomon Islands Dice Silver Coins come with varying dot setups. These include arrangements for the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6. The numbers are colorized with red on the numbers 1 and 4, and black on the other three numbers.
These 2021 2 oz Solomon Islands Dice Silver Coins are available to you for purchase with beautiful presentation packaging. The coin is set within a cube display box that comes with a black lid replicating the appearance of a dice. There is a Certificate of Authenticity available with each coin. In addition to the colorization added to the coins, each one has an antique polish.

“Much higher quality than I expected. The image on the site shows the pips being horribly painted, I assure you they are perfect! At least from the two I purchased.”
