| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the third portrait by Raphael David Maklouf, depicting the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara with drop earring and necklace visible. The legend 'QUEEN ELIZABETH II' arcs along the upper periphery, while '1 DOLLAR' appears at the lower left and 'TUVALU 2009' at the lower right of the field. The designer's initials 'RDM' appear discreetly below the portrait truncation. The coin's highly polished proof fields contrast with the finely detailed relief of the effigy. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a colorized composition depicting the infamous Caribbean pirate John Rackham, known as 'Calico Jack', rendered in full figure at the left, dressed in period costume with a tricorn hat and brandishing a cutlass. Behind him, his notorious Jolly Roger flag — bearing a skull above two crossed cutlasses on a black field — is rendered in applied color. A three-masted sailing vessel under full sail appears in the upper right against a blue-colored sea horizon. Decorative foliate elements flank the composition in the lower field, with the engraved script signature 'Calico Jack' appearing along the base. The Perth Mint 'P' mintmark and engraver's initials 'DB' are present in the field. |
