| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicted wearing the George IV State Diadem and a pearl necklace, rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The legend QUEEN ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper periphery, with TUVALU inscribed along the lower right, all separated by raised dots. The date 1996 appears in the lower exergual area, also flanked by raised dot stops. The portrait style is consistent with the Rank-Broadley effigy used on Commonwealth coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued the year before her death, this coin was part of a wave of Commonwealth commemoratives anticipating Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother's centenary — still four years away in 2000. Tuvalu, a Pacific microstate with a population then under 10,000, had no independent monetary tradition of its own; its commemorative program existed almost entirely as a revenue mechanism through collector sales rather than circulation.
The 155.5g specification places this firmly in the five-troy-ounce category, a format popular with Pacific island issuers throughout the 1990s for its bullion appeal to the Asian collector market.
