| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as designed by Raphael David Maklouf, occupying the central field. The surrounding legend reads 'QUEEN ELIZABETH II' along the upper arc, with the inscriptions '1/25oz', '9999 GOLD', 'TUVALU', and '2010' arranged along the lower arc. The portrait bears the distinctive girlande tiara characteristic of the third Maklouf effigy. The mirror-like proof field provides strong contrast against the raised design elements. |

| Reverse description | Full-color depiction of Jurōjin (寿老人), the Japanese god of longevity and one of the Seven Lucky Gods, rendered in vivid polychromatic enamel. The deity is shown as a bearded elderly man wearing a purple robe and ceremonial cap, holding a ruyi scepter in his right hand and accompanied by a deer at his left side, with a gourd-topped staff behind him — all traditional attributes symbolizing longevity and good fortune. The denomination '$2' appears in the upper right field in raised gold lettering. The Chinese characters '寿老人' (Jurōjin) are inscribed along the lower arc of the coin. |
