Interesting fact
The Southern Cassowary, featured on the 2016 Tuvalu 1 Dollar silver coin, is a large, flightless bird native to Australia and New Guinea. It is known for its distinctive casque, or crest, on its head, which is thought to be used for communication and mating. The Southern Cassowary is considered an endangered species due to habitat loss and hunting, making it a unique and interesting choice for a coin design.
