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
One interesting fact about the 10 Vatu (Graphium weiskei) coin from Vanuatu is that it features a unique design of a butterfly, specifically the Graphium weiskei species, which is native to the islands of Vanuatu. The coin's design showcases the butterfly's vibrant colors and intricate details, making it a standout piece in the world of numismatics.
