| Additional information |
Sir Jackie Stewart won three Formula One World Championships (1969, 1971, 1973) and retired abruptly after the 1973 season following the death of his teammate François Cevert at Watkins Glen — a circuit Stewart refused to race on that day. His post-racing career as a safety advocate is credited with transforming circuit design and medical response standards across the sport. This kilo gold issue from the Solomon Islands belongs to a well-worn category of Pacific island numismatic releases that have no economic relationship to their issuing territory.
