| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a wave of small-format fine gold issues produced for the Pacific sovereign coin market around 2014, largely destined for collector sets rather than circulation. The Paris Mint — Monnaie de Paris — holds one of the oldest continuous minting histories in the world, operating under royal warrant since 864 AD, and its involvement here is a licensing arrangement rather than any historical tie between France and the Solomons.
The .9999 fineness reflects post-2000 industry pressure toward four-nines gold, which the Perth and Royal Canadian mints popularized competitively through the 1990s.
