10 Dollars - Charles III Ankh Cross

The ankh cross series from Pacific island minters has become a reliable vehicle for sub-half-gram gold issues targeting the fractional bullion collector market — pieces with nominal face values bearing no relation to intrinsic worth, issued by jurisdictions whose monetary authority is largely ceremonial at this scale. Solomon Islands has licensed its coinage rights extensively since the 1990s, with the actual striking handled by private European mints operating under contract.
