Interesting fact
The 1 Dollar - Elizabeth II (Calico Jack) 2011 coin from Tuvalu features a unique design, showcasing a pirate ship and crew, including Calico Jack Rackham, for whom the coin is named after. This design is interesting because it deviates from the typical designs found on coins, which often feature national symbols, historical figures, or flora and fauna. Instead, this coin celebrates the island nation's connection to piracy and the infamous Calico Jack, who is believed to have operated in the waters surrounding Tuvalu in the early 18th century.
