The Tuvaluan Dollar is the currency of Tuvalu - a small nation in the Pacific Ocean. Tuvalu has never had banknotes of its own, and has been issuing coins since 1976; these circulate together with coins of the Australian Dollar, which is also legal tender in the country, and to which the Tuvaluan Dollar is pegged. The Australian Perth Mint issues a large variety of non-circulating legal tender coins under the authority of Tuvalu. Some of these are in the silver ounce format (abbreviated as 1 oz). Strictly speaking, they are not bullion as they are priced at a premium and are targeted at collectors who appreciate them for their artistic merit and collectable value and not just for their precious metal content. This coloured one-ounce silver coin was issued for Tuvalu as part of the Perth Mint's extensive Lunar range celebrating the twelve animals from the Chinese Lunar Calendar, and is dedicated to the 2013 Year of the Snake. It is part of a two-coin mini series featuring Wealth and Wisdom. | ||||||
