| Additional information |
The Battle of Waterloo bicentennial in 2015 generated an extraordinary volume of commemorative issues worldwide, and small Pacific island mints leaned heavily into the format — producing fractional gold pieces at price points accessible to casual collectors rather than serious numismatists. Solomon Islands had no historical connection to Waterloo whatsoever; the coin exists purely as a bullion-adjacent souvenir timed to the anniversary.
At 0.585 fineness, this sits below the 22-karat threshold common to sovereign bullion coinage — a cost-reduction choice that keeps melt value negligible on a half-gram planchet.
