| Additional information |
Tuvalu's platinum issues of the 1990s were produced under the country's longstanding arrangement with the Perth Mint, which handled design, striking, and distribution for a Pacific nation with no mint of its own. This denomination — three dollars in platinum at roughly a tenth of a troy ounce — occupied an awkward commercial niche, priced above silver novelties but well below the bullion coins serious investors tracked. Perth's collector-market output from this period was prolific, and survival rates in original packaging are high.
