Tuvalu's commemorative dollar program has long been licensed through the Perth Mint, which handles design, striking, and distribution while Tuvalu lends its issuing authority. The Battle of Midway, fought June 4–7, 1942, marked the turning point of the Pacific War — four Japanese fleet carriers sunk against one American — but coins of this type are marketed collectibles, not circulating currency, and Tuvalu has no meaningful historical connection to the engagement.
