| Additional information |
Tuvalu has issued commemorative dollars under Australian licensing arrangements for decades, functioning less as a Pacific island currency than as a vehicle for bullion and themed collectibles marketed internationally. This particular piece is one in a long-running series tied to the James Bond franchise — intellectual property controlled by Eon Productions and the Broccoli family, who have historically been selective about licensing agreements. Sean Connery died in October 2020, and this issue followed within the next production cycle.
