| Reverse description | Detailed panoramic view of the Giza Necropolis depicted across the rectangular field, featuring the three Great Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure rendered in fine engraved relief with individually delineated stone courses. The Great Sphinx of Giza is prominently positioned in the middle ground before the pyramids, while scattered ancient stone blocks occupy the foreground. To the lower right, a cameleer mounted on a camel is depicted in the desert landscape, evoking the timeless character of the site. The legend 'GREAT PYRAMIDS OF GIZA' appears in the upper left field, and the date '2026' is inscribed in the upper right field. The design employs a dual-finish technique, with a polished black mirror field contrasting against the satin-finished relief elements on the left portion of the flan. |

| Additional information |
At 0.155 g, this is a fractional miniature gold piece — a format pioneered by the New Zealand Mint and aggressively marketed through Pacific island issuing authorities whose nominal sovereignty provides the legal framework for coins that will never circulate anywhere near the Solomon Islands. The Great Pyramids have appeared on more modern collector gold issues than nearly any other ancient subject, making individual entries in such series essentially interchangeable.
