| Additional information |
The Potala Palace served as the winter residence of the Dalai Lamas from the 17th century until the 14th Dalai Lama fled to India following the 1959 Tibetan uprising. China designated it a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 — a recognition that sits uneasily alongside decades of contested sovereignty over Tibet.
Solomon Islands has issued extensively for the collector bullion market under Charles III, with sub-gram gold pieces like this targeting entry-level precious metal buyers rather than circultion. At 0.5g of .9999 fine gold, the metal value dominates entirely.
