5 Vatu Russian Blue

Vanuatu's cat-themed collector series has no relationship to the country's monetary history, economy, or culture — these pieces exist purely as colorized novelty items sold to thematic collectors through international coin marketing firms. The Russian Blue breed depicted has no connection to Vanuatu whatsoever. Pieces like this are issued under a licensing arrangement that allows the Reserve Bank to generate revenue from foreign collector markets without the coins ever entering domestic circulation.
