| Additional information |
Tuvalu's legal tender collector issues are produced under licensing arrangements that have little to do with the island nation's economy — the country's actual circulating currency is the Australian dollar. These pieces are struck by the Perth Mint on behalf of Tuvalu, a arrangement that has generated dozens of themed releases annually since the 1970s, effectively using Tuvalu's issuing authority as a vehicle for the international collector market.
The Three Wise Men release appeared in the Perth Mint's 2016 Christmas series, aluminium bronze chosen specifically to keep retail pricing accessible for gift-market buyers.
