| Additional information |
Tuvalu has no meaningful gold reserves and no independent monetary policy of its own — it uses the Australian dollar for everyday transactions. Its coin program exists entirely as a licensed revenue stream, with issues like this one produced by the Perth Mint under a longstanding arrangement that lets Tuvalu lend its name to collectibles it will never circulate. The Lunar Series targeting Chinese New Year buyers has been a reliable commercial formula for Perth since the 1990s.
The 2017 issue corresponds to the Year of the Rooster, the tenth animal in the twelve-year cycle.
