| Reverse description | A richly colored composition filling the central field with the word 'Love' expressed in numerous world languages, set against a decorative background featuring romantic motifs including hearts, two doves in flight, a winged Cupid, a diamond ring, and a pair of lips. The multilingual inscriptions are rendered in their respective native scripts, including Latin, Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Greek, Hangul, Hebrew, and Thai, creating a vibrant typographic design celebrating universal expressions of love. The color application is applied directly to the coin's mirrored proof surface, enhancing the visual contrast between the lettering and the decorative elements. |

| Additional information |
Tuvalu's legal tender coinage is almost entirely a collector-market construct — the nation of roughly 11,000 people has no meaningful domestic coin circulation, and its mint program exists primarily through licensing arrangements with the Perth Mint. This "Language of Love" issue is part of a recurring romantic-themed series aimed squarely at the gift and bullion collector market, with no particular historical or monetary significance attached to the specific 2016 release.
KM#278 is a two-troy-ounce format, placing it in Perth's larger collector coin bracket rather than the standard one-ounce issues.
