| Reverse description | A large, colourised phoenix rendered in vivid shades of red, orange, and gold dominates the field, depicted rearing upright with wings outstretched and tail feathers sweeping dramatically across the lower portion of the coin. The mythical bird rises from stylised silver flames engraved in the field. A vertical heraldic panel to the left bears a small eagle device at its head and the denomination $1 in Gothic lettering. The border is ornamented with a Greek key pattern around the upper periphery and an interlaced scroll motif at the base, with the inscription PHOENIX appearing in Gothic script along the lower exergue. The designer's initials EM appear in the lower field. |

Tuvalu has operated as a prolific licensing partner for the Perth Mint since the 1990s, issuing dozens of themed silver dollar series under its authority while retaining virtually no connection to the subject matter. The Phoenix series falls squarely into this commercial arrangement — Perth Mint product, Tuvaluan legal tender in name only, sold directly to collectors at a premium over spot.
No Phoenix coins circulated in Funafuti.
