| Additional information |
Tuvalu's arrangement with the Perth Mint has produced dozens of wildlife-themed silver dollars since the early 2000s, most issued under legal tender authority but with no realistic expectation of circulation in a nation of roughly 11,000 people. The tiger shark issues sit firmly within this collector-market model — face value is nominal, sovereignty is real, and the Perth Mint handles production and distribution entirely.
KM#724 is one of the later entries in this ongoing program, now issued under Charles III following the 2022 accession.
