| Obverse description | Uncrowned right-facing effigy of King Charles III occupying the central field, rendered in high relief after the portrait by engraver Joel Carranza, whose initials 'JC' appear below the truncation. The legend 'KING CHARLES III' arcs along the upper left periphery and 'TUVALU' along the upper right. The lower field carries the metallic specifications '1oz 9999 Ag' to the left and the denomination '1 DOLLAR' to the right, separated by the date '2024' at the base, all punctuated by raised dots. |

| Additional information |
Tuvalu has issued legal tender coinage under Australian currency agreements since independence in 1978, and its mint program — almost entirely handled by the Perth Mint — has long leaned on licensed pop-culture franchises to drive collector sales. This piece falls squarely in that commercial tradition, bearing Charles III's effigy as titular head of state following the accession he formally assumed in September 2022.
No circulation was ever intended. Perth Mint .9999 fine silver rounds of this type are produced for the numismatic gift market and see essentially zero secondary trading on coin-dealer platforms.
