10 Dollars - Elizabeth II Eagle

Part of a broader Pacific issuer bullion program that gained traction in the 2010s as smaller sovereign mints and licensing arrangements allowed non-traditional issuers to enter the fractional gold market. Solomon Islands has no domestic mint; these are produced under contract, almost certainly at a private European facility.

At 2g of .9999 fine gold, this sits in the fractional tier that emerged largely to meet demand from Asian retail buyers — particularly in China and Vietnam — who drove appetite for sub-quarter-ounce pieces during that decade.
