Obverse description Central field features the crowned royal cypher of Queen Elizabeth II — the intertwined 'E II R' monogram surmounted by a St. Edward's Crown — rendered in the darker inner ring of the bimetallic flan.

The surrounding legend along the outer ring reads '90TH BIRTHDAY OF HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II' at the top, 'VIVAT REGINA' to the sides, the birth and commemorative years '1926' and '2016' flanking the cypher, and 'BAANKA SOMALILAND' at the base.

The outer gold-coloured ring carries the legend 'QUEEN OF TUVALU' along the upper arc and '1978 - PRESENT' along the lower arc, referencing Elizabeth II's role as Queen of Tuvalu since that nation's independence.
