| Additional information |
Mother Teresa was canonized by Pope Francis in September 2016, which triggered a wave of commemorative issues from minor sovereign mints seeking licensing arrangements with the Vatican or affiliated Catholic organizations. The Solomon Islands have no historical or geographic connection to her work in Calcutta; this is a bullion-adjacent licensing product, struck in fractional gold for the collector market rather than any circulatory purpose. The face value of 10 dollars against the metal content tells the full story of its intent.
