25 Dollars - Elizabeth II FIFA Classics

The FIFA Classics series, issued by several small Pacific and Caribbean nations under licensing arrangements with FIFA, exists primarily as a bullion collectible rather than anything approaching circulating currency. Solomon Islands has issued numerous such pieces through arrangements with coin marketing firms — the Central Bank acting as issuing authority while the commercial impetus lies entirely elsewhere. The 5g .9999 fine gold format places this squarely in the small-denomination gift and novelty bullion segment that expanded sharply after 2010.
