| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a wave of small-format gold issues produced in the mid-2010s by Pacific island nations — Solomon Islands prominent among them — licensing papal and Vatican imagery for collector markets in Europe and Asia. The Vatican itself has no involvement in authorizing these coins; Solomon Islands holds the issuing authority entirely.
Elizabeth II's effigy appears as a constitutional requirement, not by any diplomatic connection to Rome.
