100 Dollars - Elizabeth II Kissing Ottifants

The "Kissing Ottifants" derives from Otto Waalkes, the German comedian who created the elephant-like character in the 1970s as a recurring motif in his stage and television work. Waalkes's Ottifant became one of the most recognizable pieces of German pop iconography, eventually spawning licensed merchandise across Europe. Tuvalu has leaned heavily into its role as a vehicle for themed bullion issues — the country's mint licensing arrangements with the Perth Mint have made it one of the more prolific issuers of pop-culture gold in the Pacific region.
