| Additional information |
At 0.155 g, this falls into the micro-gold category pioneered largely by the Perth Mint and quickly adopted by smaller issuing authorities seeking collector revenue without significant bullion outlay. The Solomon Islands has no domestic gold mining output to speak of — this coin exists purely as a numismatic product, with the Central Bank functioning as a licensing vehicle rather than a monetary authority in any practical sense here.
