| Additional information |
Part of a broader Pacific royal family commemorative program, this fractional gold issue was produced for the collector bullion market rather than any circulation purpose. The .9999 fineness places it among the purest gold strikes in the commemorative series, a standard Solomon Islands adopted specifically to compete with similar fractional issues from Australian and New Zealand mints targeting Pacific-region collectors.
