| Beschrijving keerzijde | A colorized depiction of Mahakala (大黑天), the Buddhist deity of wealth and protection, rendered in a stylized cartoon manner at the center of the field. The figure is shown full-length, wearing traditional robes in purple, yellow, and gold tones, holding a ruyi scepter topped with a yin-yang symbol in his right hand and a large sack over his left shoulder. The denomination '$2' appears in the lower right field in gold, while the Chinese characters '大黑天' arc prominently along the lower periphery. The colorized central design is set against a dark background, creating a strong contrast with the gold coin border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mahakala is a wrathful protective deity venerated across Vajrayana Buddhist traditions, and Tuvalu — a Pacific microstate with no Buddhist population to speak of — issued this coin purely for the international collector market. The country has operated a cottage industry in novelty precious-metal issues since the 1970s, licensing its sovereignty to foreign minting programs with no pretense of domestic circulation. At 1.244 grams of .9999 gold, the piece corresponds to the 1/40 oz format favored by Perth Mint-linked programs targeting Asian buyers, for whom Mahakala iconography carries specific devotional significance.
