| Additional information |
The "Lady Britain" design draws on the classical Britannia tradition stretching back to the Roman provincial coinage of Britain, later formalized under Charles II in 1672. Solomon Islands has become a significant issuer of fractional gold collector pieces under licensing arrangements, producing legal-tender issues that are designed primarily for the bullion gift market rather than any expectation of circulation. Elizabeth II's 1938 portrait — predating her accession by fourteen years — was taken during her early public appearances as a young princess.
