| Additional information |
Nauru has no historical tradition of coinage — the island used Australian currency for decades and only began issuing collector pieces in the late twentieth century through licensing arrangements. This miniature gold issue is part of a broader wave of sub-gram bullion coins produced for the collector market around 2011, when gold prices were approaching record highs and mints were competing to offer low-entry-price gold at fractional weights.
