| Additional information |
Part of Perth Mint's ongoing animal-themed bullion and collector series issued under Tuvalu's authority, these coins function primarily as silver bullion vehicles with nominal legal tender status on an island nation whose entire land area is roughly 26 square kilometres. Tuvalu has no mint of its own and licenses its name to Perth for exactly this kind of issue — a commercial arrangement that has generated dozens of species-themed dollars since the mid-2000s.
