| Additional information |
Vanuatu has sent athletes to the Summer Olympics since 1988, though its participation has been intermittent and its medal count remains zero. The National Olympic Committee operates on a shoestring, and issues like this one — struck in fine silver for international collector markets rather than domestic circulation — function as one of the few revenue streams available to small Pacific island nations with limited numismatic infrastructure. The Reserve Bank licenses these programs largely through foreign minting agencies.
KM#172 is among a cluster of Olympic-themed issues from Vanuatu in the 2024 series, each denomination tied to a specific sport.
