| Additional information |
Issued the year after Elizabeth II's death, this is one of dozens of posthumous commemoratives rushed to market by Pacific island nations whose mint relationships with the Perth and Pobjoy facilities make such issues trivially easy to produce. The geometry here is immediately suspicious: at 45 mm diameter and 0.31 g gold, the coin is a foil-inlay or gold-plated base metal piece dressed in fine gold marketing language — not a solid gold coin in any meaningful collector sense.
The California Gold Rush connection to the Solomon Islands is purely commercial. KM#2178 sits in a long line of topical issues targeting thematic collectors rather than numismatists.
