Tuvalu
The islands were discovered in 1764 by John Byron. formerly known as the Lagoon Islands or the Ellice Islands, the islands comprising Tuvalu have been fully independent since October 1st 1978. The motto on Tuvalu's coat of arms is TUVALU MO TE ATUA. For many years they were part of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands, but there were continuing problems over racial and linguistic differences, and the Ellice Islands became Tuvalu in October 1975. Tuvalu means "nine islands". This possibly explains why the natives used to wear few clothes, as they would require an extra 991 islands to form 1,000 islands dressing. Perhaps they could market "nine islands dressing" instead!

Tuvalu Coins
The $10 coin shown is a silver proof to commemorate the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, and rarely for any coin bears the portrait of H.R.H. Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh on the reverse. The inscription on the reverse reads
DUKE OF EDINBURGH'S AWARD 1956 - 1981
TUVALU TEN DOLLARS

Tuvalu Coins
Tuvalu issued its own coins for the first time only in 1976. Unlike many small countries, Tuvalu does issue coins for circulation, and not just commemoratives, even though its population is only about 9,000
We usually have in stock at least a few Tuvalu coins. The mintage figures tend to be quite low, although perhaps this is to expected.
