| Reverse description | Three overlapping female busts are depicted in high relief across the central field, representing successive iconic incarnations of Lady Britain: a flowing-haired classical figure to the left, a helmeted and armoured Britannia in the centre, and a more contemporary portrait to the right. The legend 'LADY BRITAIN' arcs along the upper left rim, while the weight '1/100 OZ', fineness '.9999 FINEST GOLD', and date '2022' are inscribed along the lower field. A circular cartouche to the right bearing the inscription '35th Anniv.' commemorates the 35th anniversary of the Lady Britain series. |

One of a wave of fractional gold issues flooding the collector market in the early 2020s, this piece belongs to the "Lady Britain" series produced for Solomon Islands — a jurisdiction with no meaningful connection to the imagery, used almost exclusively as a licensing vehicle for European bullion and novelty minting operations. The actual production almost certainly took place in a private European mint, most likely in Poland or the Czech Republic, with Solomon Islands providing nominal issuing authority in exchange for fees.
