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 charming way to celebrate The Simpsons, the third and final release from our Minted Mini Series of 1oz silver character-shaped coins now features Marge Simpson.
Pop-culture phenomenon The Simpsons premiered as a half hour series in 1989 and instantly became a worldwide pop-culture phenomenon, now seen across 200 countries in 27 languages. In 2018,The Simpsons reached an incredible milestone becoming the longest-running prime time scripted show in television history. An official licensed product, the character-shaped coin portrays a stylised representation of Marge Simpson in colour. |
