| Additional information |
Tuvalu's lunar series dollars are struck by the Perth Mint under long-standing arrangements that allow the Australian facility to produce commemorative coinage for several Pacific Island nations whose own minting infrastructure is nonexistent. The Snake issue falls within the second twelve-year cycle of Perth's lunar program, which began in 2008 after the first series concluded.
Aluminium bronze was chosen over silver for this denomination to keep a bullion-accessible price point, though the series draws primarily from collector rather than circulation demand — Tuvalu's actual transactional economy runs on the Australian dollar.
