| Additional information |
The "Lady Britain" design draws on the classical Britannia figure that first appeared on English copper coinage in 1672 under Charles II, itself borrowed from Roman provincial types struck under Hadrian. This 2022 Solomon Islands issue is a modern bullion-adjacent collector piece — fractional gold in the tenth-of-a-gram range, a format popularized in the 2010s to bring gold ownership within reach of smaller buyers. At 0.311 g, the gold content is essentially a single troy point above one-hundredth of a troy ounce.
