| Reverse description | A dynamic, right-facing galloping horse rendered in high relief occupies the central field, its mane and tail flowing with motion. Radiating sunburst lines emanate from behind the horse, filling the lower field and providing a striking background effect. The fractional weight and fineness inscription 1/25 OZ 9995 PT. is positioned along the upper periphery, while the denomination 3 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower rim in bold lettering. |

| 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.
