| Additional information |
Tuvalu's commemorative gold program in the early 1990s was issued under an arrangement with the Perth Mint, which struck these pieces on behalf of the island nation's government. The .583 fineness — 14-karat gold — was a deliberate commercial choice, reducing precious metal content to keep issue prices accessible while maintaining the appearance of a gold coin.
The 40th anniversary of the Coronation was a widely licensed theme across Commonwealth territories in 1993, producing a glut of issues from smaller member states. Tuvalu's version saw limited collector uptake.
