| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly detailed relief depiction of the Pompeii Gladiator's Helmet, an ornate bronze Greco-Roman parade helmet dating to the 1st century AD, discovered at Pompeii, Italy. The helmet is rendered in exceptional sculptural depth, showcasing its embossed decorative relief work including figural and foliate motifs across the skull, brim, and visor. The broad protective brim and hinged visor with perforated eye-guards are faithfully reproduced, conveying the archaeological character of this celebrated artefact. The field surrounding the helmet is plain, allowing the intricate surface ornamentation of the piece to dominate the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Gladiator's Helmet belongs to a wave of ultra-high-relief kilo gold issues that emerged in the early 2020s, produced almost exclusively by the Perth Mint under licensing arrangements with smaller Pacific island nations whose minting infrastructure exists on paper only. Solomon Islands contributes the legal tender framework; Australia contributes the metallurgy. At one kilogram of .9999 fine gold, the melt value at almost any point in this coin's short existence has vastly exceeded its face value — the $1000 denomination is essentially notional.
Mintages on these kilo pieces are typically stated in the low double digits globally, making secondary market appearances rare enough that auction results, not dealer spreads, set the price.
