| Reverse description | A bold, stylized close-up depiction of the Christ the Redeemer statue of Rio de Janeiro dominates the rectangular reverse field, rendered in engraved line work with a dramatic low-angle perspective that emphasizes the outstretched arms and upward-gazing face of the figure. The left portion of the field features a contrasting matte dark background against which the legends 'RIO DE JANEIRO' in large serifed capitals and 'CHRIST THE REDEEMER' in smaller lettering are incused. The date '2024' appears in the lower right corner of the polished field, completing the composition. |

| Additional information |
At 0.155 grams of .9999 gold, this is among the smallest struck gold coins commercially produced today — a format pioneered largely by the Perth Mint and since adopted by numerous sovereign issuers seeking an accessible price-point entry into gold bullion. The Rio de Janeiro tie is almost certainly a nod to the 2024 Olympic Games, with Solomon Islands acting as the issuing authority of convenience rather than any territorial or historical connection to Brazil.
