10 Dollars - Elizabeth II The Perforated Armour

This miniature gold piece belongs to a modern collector series exploiting laser-perforation technology to render chainmail or armour textures across the coin's surface — a technique that became fashionable among boutique minting programs in the late 2010s and early 2020s. Solomon Islands has long served as a licensing jurisdiction for such issues, with the Central Bank lending its imprimatur to pieces designed, produced, and primarily marketed entirely outside the Pacific archipelago, typically through European minting houses.
