Reverse description A fully equipped fencer in dynamic lunging posture dominates the centre of the rectangular flan, rendered in high relief, extending a sword to the right while the body stretches diagonally across the field. Behind the figure, a detailed architectural engraving of the Grand Palais in Paris is depicted in lower relief, conveying the venue of the fencing competition at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Horizontal engraved lines in the upper portion of the field evoke movement and speed. To the upper left, the year '2024' is rendered in a stylised Paris 2024 Olympic Games logotype, with the inscription 'OLYMPIC GAMES' below it in bold serif letters. The legend 'GRAND PALAIS' appears to the right of centre, flanked by decorative dashes.

Additional information

At 0.311 g of .9999 gold, this is a fractional micro-issue of the type that has proliferated among Pacific Island jurisdictions since the 2010s — Solomon Islands holding nominal issuing authority while production and distribution run entirely through European minting houses targeting collector markets with no connection to the territory.
