Tuvalu's authority to issue commemorative coinage stems from its status as an independent Commonwealth realm, though the coins bear no practical relationship to the country's actual monetary circulation — the Australian dollar functions as the de facto currency. The 2010 lunar series pieces were struck by the Perth Mint under its standard bullion program, which by this point had expanded aggressively into fractional gold formats targeting Asian collector markets where Tiger year issues carry particular cultural significance.
