| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the crowning of Queen Mother Halaevalu Mata'aho, who had held the title of Queen Consort since her marriage to King Tāufaʻahau Tupou IV in 1947. Tonga's commemorative silver program of the 1990s was prolific to the point of controversy — the National Reserve Bank authorized dozens of issues aimed squarely at the collector export market, with minimal domestic circulation intended.
Many of these issues were struck by foreign mints under license, a common arrangement for Pacific island nations whose domestic minting infrastructure was nonexistent.
