| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem, as modelled by Raphael David Maklouf. The portrait is set within a beaded border, with the circular legend 'QUEEN ELIZABETH THE SECOND' running from lower left to upper right around the periphery. The initials 'RDM' appear below the truncation, attributing the design to its engraver. |

| Reverse description | A boldly rendered octopus occupies the central field, its eight tentacles extending dynamically across the coin's surface, with sucker detail visible on the curling arms. The country name 'TUVALU' arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, while the denomination '50c' appears to the lower right of the central motif. The date '1994' is inscribed at the base of the design, below the octopus. |
