| Additional information |
The 2017 World Athletics Championships were held in London — the third time the city hosted the event and the first since the 2012 Olympic year reoriented global attention toward British athletics infrastructure. Solomon Islands has issued commemorative five-dollar pieces tied to major international sporting events since the 1990s, a revenue-generating practice common among smaller Pacific nations whose domestic circulation needs are minimal and whose mint relationships are typically contracted to foreign facilities.
