Nauru issued a series of small-format gold pieces in the early 2000s honoring foreign statesmen, Schmidt among them. The island's capacity to issue commemorative coinage is itself a product of the phosphate boom that briefly made Nauru one of the world's wealthiest nations per capita — wealth largely exhausted by the time these pieces were struck.
