| Additional information |
The Demeter was a German sailing barque that ran aground at Whitby, England in August 1887 — or rather, that is the fictional vessel Bram Stoker embedded into Dracula two years before the novel's 1897 publication, drawing directly on the real wreck of the Russian schooner Dmitry at the same location. Stoker, vacationing in Whitby at the time, lifted details almost verbatim from local newspaper accounts. Tuvalu has issued extensively in this horror and mythology space, leveraging its Commonwealth mint agreements to produce legal-tender collector silver with no meaningful domestic circulation.
