| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the fourth portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted with a tiara and drop earring. The legend QUEEN ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left periphery, with TUVALU along the upper right, and 2009 descending along the lower right. The truncation of the portrait bears the designer's initials IRB. The mirrored proof fields provide deep contrast against the relief of the bust. |

| Reverse description | Central design featuring a stylised ox standing in right profile, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. To the left of the ox, a traditional Chinese money bag bears the Chinese character 福 (fu, meaning prosperity or good fortune) on its face. The denomination $30 appears in the upper left field, while the inscription 1/5 oz 9999 GOLD arcs along the lower periphery. The overall composition celebrates the Chinese Lunar New Year of the Ox and its associated themes of abundance and prosperity. |
