| Additional information |
Nauru's late-1990s and early-2000s commemorative program was frankly a collector-market exercise, issuing coins tied to currencies facing extinction ahead of the eurozone conversion. This piece targets the Deutsche Mark specifically, which ceased to be legal tender on 31 December 2001 — the same year of issue. The Bank of Nauru had no monetary relationship with Germany; the pairing is purely commercial, aimed at German collectors anticipating the Mark's retirement after 53 years as West Germany's postwar monetary anchor.
