| Additional information |
Issued the year Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother turned 95, this coin was part of a broader wave of commemorative issues from Commonwealth and associated nations marking her birthday — a recurring occasion that generated substantial collector revenue for smaller Pacific issuers throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Vanuatu, a former Anglo-French condominium that gained independence in 1980, maintained no formal constitutional tie to the Crown, making the choice purely commercial rather than political.
