Silver Ounce 2021 Year of the Ox Rotating Charm, Coin from Tuvalu - detailed information

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.

The Mint says about this coin:
A delightful numismatic celebration of the Year of the Ox, this highly original silver coin incorporates a fascinating embellishment in the form of a rotating charm representing the auspicious lunar animal itself!

Kind, intelligent, hardworking, calm, honest and reliable, the ox is said by followers of the lunar calendar to bestow many positive characteristics on people born during its years of influence - including 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009 and 2021.
