| Additional information |
Part of a broader "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World" series issued through the Pacific island licensing arrangements common in the 2000s, this piece was struck by a third-party mint under franchise rather than produced by any domestic Solomon Islands minting infrastructure. The country itself has no mint. These small-format gold issues were targeted squarely at the collector bullion market, with the nominal face value bearing no relationship to gold spot or local purchasing power.
