Comment

Besides those six, already listed in KM Catalog, there are at least three other 2006 Vanuatu 10 Vatu "Butterfly" coins, all with CCC (Crystal Colour Collection) mint mark and with their certificate (in German).
On certificate there is mintage of 5000, but coin weight is different (not 31.1 g as written on certificate).

Interesting fact

The 10 Vatu coin from Vanuatu features a unique design that showcases the country's rich cultural heritage. The obverse side of the coin depicts a traditional Vanuatuan warrior, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a coconut tree, which is an important crop in Vanuatu and a symbol of the country's agricultural industry. The coin's design is a nod to Vanuatu's rich history and cultural traditions, and it serves as a reminder of the country's strong connection to its past.
