The legend QUEEN ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper periphery, while 1 DOLLAR, TUVALU, and 2012 are distributed along the lower periphery. The initials RDM appear discreetly at the portrait truncation. The field is mirror-polished in proof finish. |

| Additional information |
Tuvalu's legal tender bullion program has operated through a licensing arrangement with the Perth Mint since the 1990s, allowing Australia's premier mint to produce coins under Tuvaluan authority for the international collector and investor market. The Mayflower theme here ties to the 2012 issue's broader commemorative intent around Anglo-American historical connections, though the coin circulates almost exclusively through bullion dealers rather than the nine coral atolls whose name it bears.
