| Additional information |
Vanuatu's 5 Vatu denomination has no meaningful circulation history — the face value is essentially notional, and these silver issues are produced purely for the collector market through licensing arrangements common among Pacific island minting programs. The Blue Point Siamese belongs to a broader wave of shaped and colored commemoratives marketed aggressively through dealers in the 2010s, with the actual minting contracted out rather than conducted by any facility in Vanuatu itself.
