| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear below the truncation of the bust. The Queen is depicted wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. A circular border separates the central effigy from the surrounding legend, which reads QUEEN ELIZABETH II along the upper arc, with 2OZ 9999 SILVER to the left and TUVALU 2 DOLLARS to the right, and the date 2019 at the base. The entire design is finished in antiqued style, lending a darkened, high-relief aesthetic to the coin. |

| Reverse description | A dynamic composition featuring a Chinese dragon and a phoenix (fenghuang) depicted in high relief, their sinuous forms encircling a central bagua motif — an octagonal arrangement of Taoist trigrams drawn from the I Ching tradition. The dragon, a symbol of imperial power and yang energy, and the phoenix, representing virtue and yin energy, are rendered in intricate detail with scales, feathers, and flowing appendages. The bagua at the centre features the eight trigrams arranged in the traditional sequence surrounding a yin-yang symbol. The antiqued silver finish enhances the depth and texture of the design. The engraver's initials IJ appear in the field. |
