| Additional information |
Tuvalu's platinum bullion program occupies an odd corner of the market — the nation has no domestic precious metals industry and issues coins entirely through licensing arrangements with the Perth Mint. This horse issue belongs to a series cycling through the lunar calendar animals, with each year's platinum strike produced in extremely limited numbers against the gold and silver counterparts that dominate actual sales volume. Perth's .9995 platinum specification is fractionally purer than the .9990 floor common to most sovereign platinum programs.
