| Additional information |
Fiji's mid-2000s commemorative gold program produced a dense run of small-format issues pairing international heritage sites with the standard Elizabeth II effigy — a formula used across numerous Pacific island minting programs of the period, where the issuing nation has no direct historical connection to the subject. Stonehenge itself became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986, but the political battles over its management — particularly the long dispute between English Heritage and Druid groups over access during the summer solstice — were still unresolved in 2006.
KM#266 is a low-mintage bullion-adjacent piece with minimal circulation history by design.
