| Additional information |
Audrey Hepburn's estate has been among the more litigious in the celebrity licensing world, making authorized portrait coinage a rarer occurrence than the market's appetite for Hepburn memorabilia would suggest. Solomon Islands has issued numerous small-format gold pieces under celebrity and pop-culture licenses, typically routed through European minting intermediaries rather than the islands' own monetary authority — the nominal issuer designation bearing little relation to any domestic circulation intent.
