15 Dollars - Charles III Horse

Tuvalu's authority to issue legal tender coinage derives from a 1976 agreement with the Perth Mint that long predates the nation's formal independence, making the island nation one of the more unusual vehicles for Australian-minted collector issues. The Perth Mint has produced Tuvaluan gold under this arrangement for decades, with face values bearing no practical relationship to the coin's bullion worth — Tuvalu's GDP per capita makes a $15 denomination purely nominal.

Charles III coinage from 2024 represents only the second year of his effigy appearing on Commonwealth issues following the release of the approved Jody Clark portrait.
