| Additional information |
Tuvalu's legal tender collector coin program has long been administered under licensing arrangements with the Perth Mint, which produces these issues on behalf of the Tuvaluan government. This particular release belongs to a broader dog breeds series, and the "Russian version" designation refers to a parallel issue struck for the Russian retail market — a common commercial practice among Perth Mint programs in the early 2010s, where identical or near-identical coins were packaged and distributed through regional dealers with market-specific documentation and sometimes altered mintage allocations.
Actual circulation in Tuvalu: none. The island nation's population of roughly 11,000 uses Australian dollars daily.
