Part of a series issued by the Solomon Islands Central Bank commemorating French coinage history, this miniature gold piece was struck by the Monnaie de Paris under a licensing arrangement that became increasingly common among Pacific island sovereigns during the 2010s as a revenue mechanism. The 1998 France pairing refers to the last French franc issues before euro adoption rendered the franc obsolete at the close of 2001.
