| Additional information |
Part of the broader "Rock Cities" bullion-adjacent series, this issue capitalizes on the UNESCO World Heritage designation that has made Petra one of the most commercially reproduced archaeological sites in modern numismatics. The Nabataean city, carved into rose-red sandstone cliffs in present-day Jordan, has no monetary or historical connection to the Solomon Islands — the issuing authority here is purely nominal, a jurisdiction chosen for its cooperative mint licensing arrangements rather than any sovereign relationship to the subject matter.
