5 Dollars - Elizabeth II Great Pyramid of Giza

The Solomon Islands has no historical or geographic connection to Egypt, but since the 1990s its government has aggressively licensed its coinage authority to private minting houses — primarily the Pobjoy Mint and B.H. Mayer — producing collectible issues for the international numismatic market rather than domestic circulation. This piece is one of hundreds in that category.

At 0.5 grams of 14-karat gold, the actual gold content is fractional by design, keeping the blank cost low enough for mass-market souvenir sales priced just above melt.
