10 Dollars - Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee

Issued to mark Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee — seventy years on the throne, the longest reign in British history — this is one of dozens of near-identical commemorative gold miniatures struck for Pacific and Caribbean territories in 2022. The Solomon Islands has issued coins through the Pobjoy Mint and similar contractors for decades, with the local central bank lending its name to products aimed squarely at the collector market rather than circulation. At 0.5 grams, the gold content is negligible by bullion standards.
