The Angels series, issued by the Solomon Islands but produced for the bullion and collector market, belongs to a category of fractional gold coinage that proliferated in the 2010s and 2020s as mints competed aggressively for the sub-gram gold segment. At 0.5 g, these pieces contain just under a sixteenth of a troy ounce — functional primarily as gift items and entry-level bullion rather than circulating tender on any island in the Solomons chain.
