10 Dollars - Elizabeth II Cologne Cathedral

At that moment it briefly became the tallest structure in the world. This issue belongs to the proliferating category of sub-half-gram gold miniatures struck under Solomon Islands authority for the collector market, a licensing arrangement that has little to do with the Pacific nation itself.
