| Additional information |
Vanuatu has issued a long series of small-denomination gold pieces under the "London Eye" name, almost certainly referring to the Ferris wheel landmark rather than anything connected to Vanuatu's monetary history or Pacific heritage. These are frankly souvenir-grade bullion novelties produced for the collector market, with no meaningful circulation purpose — the 10 Vatu face value is nominal against even the metal content.
