Tuvalu's legal tender coinage is struck under license by the Perth Mint, which has produced the bulk of the nation's bullion and commemorative output since the late 1990s. The Year of the Rabbit series sits within Perth's broader Chinese Lunar program, one of the longest-running and most commercially successful precious metals series targeting the Asia-Pacific collector market. The 2011 rabbit issue corresponds to the fourth animal in the 12-year cycle, a year that also fell during a sustained spike in gold spot prices driven by post-GFC safe-haven demand.
At 6.22 g of .9999 fine gold, the piece contains almost exactly one-fifth of a troy ounce.
