| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait, wearing a diamond tiara and drop earrings, with finely detailed hair and drapery at the shoulder. The legend QUEEN ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper rim, while the denomination 1 DOLLAR, the issuer TUVALU, and the date 2009 are distributed around the lower field. The portrait is set against a polished proof field with a darkened shadow element at the left, characteristic of the Perth Mint's artistic presentation for this series. |
