| Additional information |
East Rennell, the southern portion of Rennell Island in the Solomon Islands, was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998 — the first natural site in the Pacific to receive that designation. The island is a raised coral atoll, and Lake Te'Nggano at its center is the largest brackish-water lake in the Pacific. This coin belongs to the broad category of Solomon Islands collector issues produced under license arrangements, where the Central Bank lends its issuing authority to third-party mints targeting the commemorative bullion market rather than domestic circulation.
