| Additional information |
The Solomon Islands has issued an extensive series of small-format gold coins under foreign licensing arrangements, with the Nefertiti piece belonging to a broader program targeting the collector bullion market rather than any domestic monetary need. Nefertiti's iconic bust, excavated by a German team at Amarna in 1912 and controversially removed to Berlin, has been the subject of an unresolved repatriation dispute between Germany and Egypt for decades — Egypt has repeatedly demanded its return, and Germany has repeatedly declined.
