| Reverse description | A prominent gold-plated Latin cross occupies the centre of the field, its vertical arm notably longer than the horizontal, rendered with a smooth, burnished finish against a black enamelled background. The legend LATIN CROSS arcs along the upper portion of the inner border, flanked by ornamental scroll devices at either side. The denomination ONE DOLLAR is inscribed along the lower arc of the inner border. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner ring and a plain outer rim. |

| Additional information |
Tuvalu's dollar coinage is struck under licensing arrangements with the Perth Mint, which has produced commemorative and collector issues for the territory since the 1970s. The Pacific nation — nine atolls with a combined land area of roughly 26 square kilometers — generates a meaningful share of government revenue through exactly these kinds of numismatic programs, alongside the lease of its .tv internet domain.
