| Additional information |
The "Lady Britain" design borrows the seated Britannia figure that first appeared on English coinage under Charles II in 1672, here reissued under a Solomon Islands license — a common arrangement that lets smaller sovereign nations generate numismatic revenue by issuing gold fractionals bearing designs with no organic connection to their territory. The 2022 date on a coin named "2010" reflects restriking, not error.
