2 Dollars - Elizabeth II Vaiśravaṇa

Vaiśravaṇa — the Buddhist deity of wealth and guardian of the north — was adopted across Central and East Asian monetary iconography for centuries, his image appearing on everything from Tang dynasty silk-road amulets to Tibetan printed currency. Tuvalu's use of him here is purely commercial: the Perth Mint issued this as part of a broader series capitalizing on collector demand for fine gold fractionals with pan-Asian religious themes. The 1.244 g weight corresponds to 1/25 troy ounce.
