Part of a long-running series commemorating FIFA World Cup host nations, this miniature gold issue marks the 1982 tournament held in Spain — the first World Cup to expand from 16 to 24 teams. At 0.5 g of .9999 gold, these pieces are struck primarily for the bullion collectibles market rather than any circulating purpose, with Solomon Islands lending its issuing authority to a product with no meaningful connection to the territory.
