Comments

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).
