| Obverse description | The obverse features the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted in right-facing profile with a diademed bust, positioned at the upper center of the field. The central field is dominated by a rotating three-dimensional gilt ox figurine set within a circular recess, the sphere bearing a stylized flame motif on its visible face. The surrounding field displays a finely textured granular ground with a ring of raised bosses framing the central insert. The legend '1 DOLLAR' arcs along the upper left, 'TUVALU' along the upper right, '2021' vertically at right, and 'QUEEN ELIZABETH II' curves along the lower arc, all separated by raised dot stops in the antiqued silver finish. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents an intricately engraved field filled edge-to-edge with a dense, folk art-inspired composition of all twelve Chinese zodiac animals interspersed with stylized floral and foliate motifs, rendered in high relief against a brushed antiqued silver ground. At the center, a three-dimensional rotating gilt ox head figurine is mounted within a circular aperture, its features rendered in fine sculptural detail with dark inlaid eyes, evoking traditional Chinese decorative art. The inscription '1 oz 9999 SILVER' appears vertically along the right inner field, with the Perth Mint 'P' mintmark and the designer's initials 'NM' positioned in the lower field. The overall composition reflects the Chinese paper-cutting artistic tradition applied to a numismatic format. |
