5 Dollars - Elizabeth II Zhao Yun

Zhao Yun, the Changshan general whose loyalty to Liu Bei during the chaos of the Three Kingdoms period made him one of the most venerated military figures in Chinese history, has been the subject of considerable numismatic demand from mainland Chinese collectors over the past decade — a market dynamic that has driven Pacific island issuers like Tuvalu into an increasingly crowded space of large-format silver issues targeting that audience. Tuvalu itself has no historical connection to the subject matter; the Commonwealth realm relationship with Australia facilitates the legal tender framework.
