| Additional information |
The "Falcon Island" release was part of Australia's ongoing legal tender novelty program administered through the Perth Mint, which has issued dollar-denominated coins for a rotating cast of Pacific and Indian Ocean territories since the early 2000s. These brass pieces circulate in name only — the named "island" jurisdictions hold no independent monetary authority, and the coins are produced exclusively for the collector market.
No recorded circulation figures exist for this issue, which is functionally a bullion-adjacent souvenir rather than a working currency instrument.
