| Additional information |
Tuvalu has operated a substantial commemorative coin program since the 1970s, largely funded through licensing agreements with foreign distributors — the island nation's actual GDP makes large-format gold coinage an export product, not a domestic currency. This piece is part of a Fox Broadcasting licensing deal, one of several pop-culture gold issues Perth Mint struck for Tuvalu around this period.
Legal tender face value of $100 AUD-equivalent is nominal. Perth Mint produced these in strictly limited runs, typically under 500 pieces globally.
