Aanvullende informatie	Vanuatu has a well-documented history of issuing commemorative gold pieces featuring foreign heads of state — a revenue-generating practice with no domestic monetary function whatsoever. This piece was struck in the weeks surrounding Obama's January 2009 inauguration, riding a global wave of commemorative issues that flooded the market from issuers with equally tenuous connections to the subject. The .9999 fineness and fractional weight place it firmly in the souvenir bullion category rather than any serious numismatic series.
