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 silver coin represents a Chinese blessing. On ancient oracle bone inscriptions, the fu character 福 was a pair of hands holding a large jar, symbolising someone asking for blessing and fortune from the gods, in front of an altar. The ancient Chinese carried out this ritual of making offerings to the gods and praying for peace and joy. | ||||||
