| Additional information |
Tuvalu's gold bullion and commemorative program is administered through the Perth Mint under a long-standing arrangement that grants Australia's federal territory the right to strike legal tender coinage on behalf of Pacific island nations. The Year of the Ox series sits within Perth's annual lunar output, which has run continuously since 1996 and commands a consistent secondary market among Chinese diaspora collectors globally.
The 2021 Ox year carries added weight given it fell during COVID-era mint disruptions that constrained several Perth Mint releases mid-production run.
