| Obverse description | The fourth definitive effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, as sculpted by Ian Rank-Broadley, occupies the centre of the obverse in right-facing portrait, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The engraver's initials 'IRB' appear below the truncation of the bust. The peripheral legend reads 'QUEEN ELIZABETH II' at the top, with '1 OZ 9999 SILVER' along the lower left and 'TUVALU 2014' along the lower right, all rendered in capital Latin letters against a highly polished field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a vividly coloured Western-style dragon rendered in shades of deep purple, brown, and amber, crouching menacingly upon a cobblestone surface with its jaws agape and large membranous wings fully spread. A fallen sword lies beneath the creature's claws, underscoring its ferocity. In the left field, a silver pillar bears an engraved heraldic wyvern device above the denomination '$1' in Gothic-style numerals. The word 'dragon' is inscribed in stylised script along the lower exergue, and the engraver's initials 'EML' appear to the right of the inscription. The design is framed by an ornate border of scrollwork and geometric motifs. |
