Tuvalu has issued lunar calendar coins under Australian licensing arrangements for decades, with the series functioning largely as a revenue mechanism for a nation whose entire land area sits below three meters of elevation. The 2024 Dragon issue is struck in aluminium bronze rather than the silver used for premium issues in the same series — a deliberate tier aimed at circulation-compatible pricing while retaining legal tender status under Tuvaluan law.
