| Additional information |
Struck to mark the 250th anniversary of Cook's 1772 second Pacific voyage, this is among the smallest legal-tender gold issues produced for the Solomon Islands — a jurisdiction increasingly used by bullion mints to license ultra-low-weight fractional gold aimed squarely at the collector gift market rather than numismatic circulation. The .9999 fineness is standard for modern bullion-grade fractional pieces from this licensing pipeline.
