Silver Ounce 2025 C-Day 50th Anniversary, 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.

This coin commemorates the 50th Anniversary of "C-Day" - the day when colour television was introduced in Australia.

The mint says about it:
1 March 1975 (known as C-Day) marked the dawning of a new visual age as Australians caught their first glimpse of the vividness of full-colour television. This groundbreaking innovation sparked a cultural revolution that defined the era. In 2025, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of this landmark event.
