| Additional information |
The "Lady Britain" branding belongs to a series of fractional gold issues produced for the collector market, sized specifically to hit a low entry price point for gold ownership rather than to serve any transactional purpose. At 0.311 g — one-hundredth of a troy ounce — these were struck under Solomon Islands authority but designed entirely for the international bullion-collector trade. The Solomon Islands' nominal face value carries no meaningful relationship to gold spot.
The 1997 name date references Elizabeth II's portrait generation used, not the strike year of 2022.
