| Additional information |
White gold — an alloy typically achieved by combining gold with palladium or nickel — is rarely used for bullion or collector coinage, making this issue technically unusual for a Pacific sovereign mint program. Solomon Islands has issued aggressively under licensing arrangements with the Pobjoy Mint and similar third-party producers for decades, with the face value bearing no relationship to intrinsic worth at this size.
At 0.5 grams, this is among the smallest gold-format coins in current production anywhere.
