| Reverse description | A fully colored Dalmatian dog stands in alert profile facing left-center, its distinctive white coat with black spots rendered in applied color. The background features an East Asian-inspired landscape with stylized rocky outcroppings, flowering chrysanthemum foliage, and auspicious cloud motifs in relief. To the upper left, a large Chinese character 狗 (meaning 'dog') is engraved against a textured tree trunk element, referencing the Chinese Lunar Year of the Dog. The Perth Mint's P mintmark appears in the upper right field, the engraver's initials JM are visible at lower left, and the inscription 1oz 9999 SILVER is engraved along the lower border. |

| Additional information |
Tuvalu's numismatic program is administered through the Perth Mint under licensing arrangements that allow the island nation — whose own economy runs largely on fishing licenses and the sale of its .tv internet domain — to issue legal tender coins it will never circulate. The Dalmatian belongs to a dog breed series that Perth produced for Tuvalu across multiple years, each release limited to a few thousand pieces and aimed squarely at the collector market rather than any monetary function.
