| Additional information |
Tuvalu's legal tender coinage has long functioned primarily as a vehicle for the Perth Mint's bullion and collector programs, with the island nation's monetary authority lending its issuing rights to series that bear no relation to its domestic economy. This piece belongs to that arrangement.
At 155.5 grams of .9999 silver, it corresponds to the standard five-troy-ounce format common to Perth Mint high-relief issues of the 2020s.
