| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, with drop earring and necklace, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. The legend QUEEN ELIZABETH II arcs around the upper left periphery, with TUVALU to the upper right and the date 2002 to the lower right, all in raised Latin lettering. The portrait is rendered in fine relief against a smooth field, following the fourth definitive effigy standard adopted for Commonwealth coinage from 1998. |
