Nauru recommenced issuing commemorative coins in 2017, and has now issued over 50 new coins through MDM.
Why issue commemorative coins?
There are many reasons to issue these coins including:
- To commemorate anniversaries and special events both within Nauru and with our partner countries
- To be present in the commemorative coin business sector (most countries develop commemorative coin programs in addition to their stamp issues)
- To give a positive impression of the culture of Nauru and to support the history and tradition for the future generations
- To raise international awareness of Nauru by the commemorative coin sector
- To satisfy and develop the demand of the collectors and partners
- To participate in international programs and events (e.g. Olympics, FIFA etc)
- The use of commemorative coins as silent but effective ambassadors of Nauru
