| Opschrift voorzijde | QUEEN ELIZABETH II 1 DOLLAR TUVALU 2006 |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central depiction of a 1990 Lamborghini Countach in three-quarter front view, rendered in finely detailed relief against a composite background featuring three photographic-style inset panels: at upper left, the distinctive multi-spoke alloy wheel; at upper centre, the iconic angular dashboard and steering wheel interior; and at upper right, the exposed mid-mounted V12 engine bay. The model designation LAMBORGHINI appears in a curved banner across the lower field, with COUNTACH inscribed on a raised plaque below. The year 1990 is placed at the top of the field, and the engraver's initials WR appear to the lower right. |

Tuvalu has leveraged its sovereign mint rights since the 1970s to produce collectible coinage for the international numismatic market — a revenue stream that has, at various points, exceeded the island nation's GDP from traditional sources. The Lamborghini Countach, designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone and produced from 1974 to 1990, was selected here as part of a broader classic cars series aimed squarely at European collector demographics.
The Countach name itself came from a Piedmontese exclamation of astonishment — reportedly uttered by a Bertone employee upon first seeing the prototype.
