| Additional information |
Vanuatu has no historical connection to the Mayflower voyage of 1620 — the coin exists purely as a bullion-adjacent commemorative produced for the international collector market, a revenue stream the Reserve Bank of Vanuatu has tapped repeatedly through licensed arrangements with overseas minting operations. These issues are struck to order, typically at European or Australian contract mints, and never circulate domestically.
