2026 Solomon Isl. 5 oz Gold Mother of Pearl Year of the Horse

This modern gold coin from the Solomon Islands celebrates the Lunar Year of the Horse in 2026. Struck from five ounces of 0.999 fine gold, the coin is a notable release within the Mother of Pearl series. The production of this issue is exceptionally limited, with a worldwide mintage of only 25 pieces. The reverse of the coin showcases a profile of a horse crafted from yellow mother of pearl. Because of the ultrasonic waves used in the creation process, the precise coloration and texture of the organic inlay can vary, making each of the 25 pieces distinct. The inscription "YEAR OF THE HORSE" and the year "2026" are clearly legible, framing this central design. On the obverse, the coin displays the effigy of King Charles III alongside the monetary denomination of $100. The inscriptions confirm its status as a sovereign coin backed by the Solomon Islands, featuring the monarch's name, the country, and the weight of 5 oz of gold.
