| Additional information |
Tuvalu's legal tender coinage is produced entirely under contract through the Perth Mint, which has long issued collectible series on Tuvalu's behalf with no meaningful circulation ever intended. This piece belongs to a multi-release dog breeds program that Perth marketed simultaneously in several language variants — English, Russian, and others — as parallel collector editions targeting different national markets. The Russian-language version was aimed squarely at the post-Soviet collector base that emerged as a significant force in the international bullion and numismatic market during the 2000s.
