Tuvalu's legal tender coinage is produced under licensing arrangements that have little to do with the island nation's 11,000-odd residents and everything to do with the collectibles market. The Perth Mint strikes these issues on Tuvalu's behalf, and the $100 face value is essentially nominal — a legal fiction that grants the piece monetary instrument status without any expectation it will ever buy groceries in Funafuti.
Chun-Li debuted in Capcom's Street Fighter II in 1991, the first female playable fighter in a mainstream arcade fighting game. This issue belongs to a broader Street Fighter series Perth released that year.
