Issued to mark the cancer diagnosis disclosed by Buckingham Palace in February 2024 — the first time the Palace had publicly acknowledged a reigning monarch's cancer — this piece weighs just 0.1555 g, placing it among the smallest gold issues in the commemorative market, a format increasingly favored by Pacific island jurisdictions seeking low entry-price collectibles denominated under legitimate sovereignty.
