| Additional information |
Vanuatu has a long history of licensing its monetary authority to private coin producers for commemorative issues aimed squarely at the collector market — this piece has no meaningful circulation history and was never intended to have one. It appeared in 2009, the year of Obama's first inauguration, as part of a wave of foreign-issued gold miniatures produced for the souvenir trade.
The Reserve Bank of Vanuatu's involvement is nominal. Legal tender status is granted by arrangement, not by any domestic monetary need.
