| Additional information |
Tuvalu's numismatic program is administered through the Perth Mint under a longstanding licensing arrangement, and platinum issues in this weight class — near-exactly one-tenth of a troy ounce — are produced in strictly limited quantities, typically under a few hundred pieces globally. The transition from Elizabeth II to Charles III across the entire Commonwealth currency apparatus required remastering dies across dozens of issuing authorities simultaneously, making 2024 the first full year of standardized Charles III coinage across Perth Mint's Pacific territory clients.
