| Additional information |
Vanuatu has no meaningful connection to the Titanic — this is a modern commemorative struck purely for the collector market, issued under the country's liberal licensing arrangements that have made it a prolific source of novelty bullion and themed coins since the early 2000s. The blue titanium finish is applied through anodization, an electrochemical process that produces color through light interference rather than dye or coating.
