Issued on the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, this miniature gold piece belongs to a category of modern collector issues that proliferated heavily from Pacific island nations in the 2010s — jurisdictions with negligible connection to the commemorated events, whose issuing authority is essentially leased to private minting houses. The Solomon Islands did fall within the Pacific theater, not the European, making the VE Day subject a purely commercial choice.
