Tuvalu's legal tender coinage has served since the 1970s as a vehicle for the Perth Mint's collector programs — the island nation's actual monetary economy runs almost entirely on Australian dollars, making issues like this one purely numismatic products from inception. The phoenix design belongs to a broader series of mythological and fantasy themes the Perth Mint has issued under Tuvaluan authority, targeting the bullion-collector crossover market where two troy ounces of .999 silver carries as much appeal as the design itself.
