| Additional information |
Tuvalu's legal tender collector coin program has, since the 1970s, operated almost entirely as a licensing and revenue arrangement — the island nation of roughly 11,000 people issues coins it has no practical need for, marketed to collectors abroad. This piece is part of that framework, produced by the Perth Mint under license and aimed squarely at the global Indian diaspora market around the October–November festival season.
KM#400 is a bullion-weight commemorative with no circulation history and no tie to Tuvaluan culture or policy.
