| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central depiction of the Colossus of Rhodes, rendered as a towering, partially draped male figure standing astride a harbour entrance, raising one arm aloft while holding a torch or spear; rocky outcroppings and a cityscape with ships are visible at the base of the statue. The denomination 1$ appears to the right of the central device. The legend SEVEN WONDERS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD curves along the upper rim within a dotted border, and COLOSSUS OF RHODES arcs along the lower rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, stood at the entrance to Mandraki Harbour for roughly 54 years before an earthquake toppled it in 226 BC. The broken statue lay where it fell for nearly nine centuries — Arab traders who sacked Rhodes in 653 AD reportedly needed 900 camels to haul away the scrap bronze.
This piece belongs to a proliferating class of sub-half-gram gold issues produced under Solomon Islands authority almost entirely for the collector market, bearing no meaningful relationship to the issuing territory. The .585 fineness places it at 14-karat gold rather than the .999 or .9999 purity typical of bullion issues.
