| Additional information |
Vanuatu has fielded athletes at the Summer Olympics since Los Angeles 1984, though the nation has yet to claim a medal. These small commemorative issues — struck in sterling silver well above the face value of 20 vatu — are produced for the collector market rather than circulation, a common revenue mechanism for Pacific island nations whose domestic coinage needs are modest.
