| Reverse description | A vivid coloured panoramic scene inspired by the science-fiction universe of Dune, depicting the vast desert landscape of the planet Arrakis rendered in warm ochre and burnt sienna tones. Dominating the centre is a large spice harvester machine, its dark corrugated hull stretching from the foreground across undulating sand dunes toward distant reddish mountains. In the upper portion of the field, the circular underside of a carryall craft hovers above the harvester, detailed with concentric mechanical rings. A muad'dib desert mouse (jerboa) is depicted in the lower foreground amid the sculpted dunes. The stylised 'DUNE' logo in the official franchise typeface appears prominently in the upper field, with the trademark notice 'TM & © 2026 Legendary.' along the upper rim and the Perth Mint 'P' mintmark at the left. |

| Additional information |
Tuvalu's licensing arrangements with the Perth Mint have made it one of the most prolific issuing authorities for commemorative bullion coinage despite having no domestic mint and a population under 12,000. The nation's formal currency relationship with Australia means these pieces are technically legal tender, though at a face value bearing no relationship to their silver content or collector market.
The "Dune" attribution places this within a wave of licensed pop-culture issues that Perth has aggressively expanded since the early 2010s.
