| Reverse description | Hera, Queen of the Olympian gods, depicted seated on an ornate throne set within a Greek temple interior framed by columns and meander-pattern architectural details. The goddess is draped in flowing classical robes and holds a sceptre topped with a lotus flower or pomegranate in her right hand, while to her left a bull reclines at the base of the throne. A large peacock with fully rendered plumage stands to her right, referencing her sacred animal. The inscription HERA appears in bold lettering along the lower exergue, and the Perth Mint privy mark P is visible in the lower left field. |

| Additional information |
Tuvalu has served as a vehicle for the Perth Mint's bullion and collector programs for decades, with the island nation's legal tender framework used to issue coins that have no practical circulation function whatsoever. This piece is one of hundreds of themed releases produced under that arrangement — a Greek mythology series entry struck in fine silver for the collector and bullion market.
KM#676 was assigned by Krause to catalogue the issue, but the series has no numismatic heritage tied to Tuvalu itself.
