| Additional information |
Tuvalu's authority to issue its own coinage stems from its 1978 independence, though the island nation has no domestic mint and contracts all production abroad — these platinum pieces were struck by the Perth Mint under that arrangement. The three-year span of this series coincides with Perth's broader push into fractional platinum bullion issues during the mid-2000s, when platinum briefly commanded a premium over gold.
At 3.11 g, this is a one-tenth troy ounce format — Perth's preferred entry point for precious metal series aimed at collectors who track spot value alongside numismatic interest.
