| Obverse description | The obverse features Ian Rank-Broadley's right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered in high relief against a plain field. The legend surrounding the portrait reads 'QUEEN ELIZABETH II TUVALU 2 DOLLARS' along the upper and lower periphery, with the weight and purity inscription '2oz 9999 Ag' and the date '2018' completing the design. The designer's initials 'IRB' appear beneath the truncation of the bust. The coin's denomination and issuer are thus fully identified within the obverse inscription. |
