Additional information

Princess Grace died in September 1982 following a stroke while driving on the same Corniche road above Monaco she had traveled countless times. The commemorative coin market responded to her 40th death anniversary with a predictable wave of small-denomination gold issues from Pacific island jurisdictions — Solomon Islands among them — whose nominal face values bear no relationship to bullion worth.

At one gram of .9999 fine gold, the coin's intrinsic value at any recent gold price exceeds its stated $10 face value by a factor of roughly six.
