| Reverse description | The reverse presents a colorized depiction of Bart Simpson, the iconic animated character from the television series The Simpsons, shown standing before the facade of the Kwik-E-Mart convenience store. Bart is rendered in his characteristic yellow complexion, pulling a mischievous facial expression consistent with the character's irreverent persona. The copyright legend is inscribed along the lower portion of the field, crediting series creator Matt Groening and 20th Century Fox, with the store name KWIK-E-MART also appearing as an inscription within the design. |

| Additional information |
Tuvalu has long operated a licensed legal tender program that allows the Perth Mint to strike themed collector coins under Tuvaluan authority — a revenue arrangement that has produced everything from pop culture icons to horror film characters. This piece was issued as part of a series tied to the 30th anniversary of The Simpsons, which first aired in December 1989.
Bart's inclusion reflects his status as the show's breakout character during its first season, when he briefly dominated merchandise sales to a degree that genuinely alarmed Fox executives.
