| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem, with a pearl drop earring and pearl necklace visible, after the third definitive portrait modelled by Raphael Maklouf. The legend QUEEN ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper periphery, while 100 DOLLARS TUVALU and the date 2006 are inscribed along the lower and right periphery respectively, all within a raised border. The finely detailed portrait shows the Queen's characteristic coiffure and draped neckline against a mirror-polished field. |

| Reverse description | A full-colour applied image of a red 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray coupe is depicted in three-quarter front view, centrally positioned over a radiating sunburst pattern of alternating raised and recessed rays that converge toward the lower field. The legend CORVETTE STING RAY arcs along the upper periphery, followed by the trademark notation TM GM to the right, with the engraver's initials WR visible in the right field. The date 1963 appears in the lower exergue in bold Roman characters. The polished gold ground contrasts with the vivid colour-printed automotive motif, lending the design a dramatic presentation. |
