| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear truncated at the bust. The portrait is set within a raised inner circle, with the surrounding legend divided across the field reading QUEEN ELIZABETH II to the upper arc and 2OZ 9999 SILVER 2017 TUVALU 2 DOLLARS to the lower arc and sides, all in Latin characters. The coin displays an antiqued finish, lending the surfaces a deeply contrasted, aged appearance. |

| Reverse description | A richly detailed high-relief depiction of Frigg, the Norse goddess of marriage and motherhood, seated three-quarter facing and draped in flowing robes. She holds a hawk or falcon upon her left wrist, a symbolic attribute, while her right hand is raised toward a distaff with spinning wool, referencing her role as a weaver of fate. Intricate Norse knotwork borders frame the composition on the left, and flowering plants occupy the lower field, while the inscription FRIGG appears to the upper right alongside the Perth Mint's P mintmark and the engraver's initials IJ. The overall design is executed in an antiqued finish with sculptural depth characteristic of high-relief collector coinage. |
