| Additional information |
Part of a broad series of fractional gold miniatures issued through licensed distribution channels rather than through conventional central bank policy — these pieces were never intended for circulation and exist purely as collector vehicles. The Solomon Islands monetary authority has lent its name to hundreds of such issues since the 1990s, making attribution to any specific minting facility difficult without accompanying certificates.
