| Additional information |
Tuvalu's dollar coinage is issued under the authority of the Tuvalu Monetary Corporation but struck by the Perth Mint under a longstanding arrangement that dates to the nation's independence from British administration in 1978. The seahorse issues of this period belong to a broader Perth Mint program producing legal-tender collectibles for Pacific island nations — coins with nominal circulation status but effectively designed for the international bullion and numismatic export market from the outset.
Mintage on these Perth Mint-produced Tuvalu dollars was typically capped at 5,000 pieces with a maximum authorized limit, though sell-through often ran lower.
