| Additional information |
Vanuatu's Reserve Bank has issued a long-running series of collectible silver pieces under its domestic denomination framework, though none circulate and all are produced explicitly for the numismatic export market. The Maine Coon entry in this animal series was struck by a European contract mint — almost certainly B.H. Mayer's Mint in Germany, which handled the majority of Vanuatu's collector output during this period.
KM#122 confirms catalog recognition, but secondary market depth for this type is shallow.
