Gold Half Gram (0.5 g), Coin Type from Solomon Islands - detailed information

Apart from its regular circulating coinage, Solomon Islands has authorised a number of mints to issue collector coins in precious metals, which are legal tender in the country but are not intended for general circulation. Some of them are in the half gram of gold mini-coin format (abbreviated as 0.5g Au, where "Au" comes from the Latin word for gold, Aurum). These are usually dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes not related to the country itself.
