10 Dollars - Elizabeth II Saint Christopher

Solomon Islands has issued a succession of small-format .9999 gold pieces in recent years under licensing arrangements that have little to do with the islands' own monetary history — these are effectively bullion collectibles produced for the international numismatic market, struck at contracted mints well outside Honiara.
