| Additional information |
Vanuatu has no native hummingbirds — the family Trochilidae is confined to the Americas — making this a purely commercial bullion issue with no ecological connection to the issuing nation. The Reserve Bank of Vanuatu has licensed its name to a number of large-format silver rounds of this type since the 2010s, a revenue arrangement common among smaller Pacific island states with limited domestic coinage demand.
KM#171 places it within a catalogued series, though collector interest tracks spot silver more than numismatic premium.
