附加信息	Salote Tupou III ruled Tonga for nearly five decades and became internationally known almost entirely through a single moment: her open-carriage appearance in the rain at Elizabeth II's 1953 coronation, where she reportedly refused to close the hood out of respect. She died in 1965, meaning this 1967 issue was struck posthumously — part of a transitional coinage series that bridged her reign and that of her son Taufa'ahau Tupou IV, who formally modernized the currency system in subsequent years.
