| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, with the engraver's initials IRB incused below the neck truncation. The surrounding legend reads QUEEN ELIZABETH II along the upper arc, with 50 CENTS TUVALU 2014 along the lower arc. The field is polished to a mirror-like proof finish, providing a strong contrast with the finely detailed portrait. |

| Reverse description | A pair of Major Mitchell's cockatoos (Lophochroa leadbeateri) rendered in full color, perched intimately together on a branch at center field, surrounded by stylized native Australian flora in relief. The male bird at left displays his vivid pink plumage and raised orange-and-yellow banded crest, holding yellow wildflowers in his beak toward his mate. The inscription FOREVER LOVE appears in flowing cursive script along the upper arc, while the purity and weight designation 1/2oz 999 SILVER is inscribed along the lower exergue. The Perth Mint's P mintmark appears to the right of the design, and the background field is given a frosted finish contrasting with the polished border. |
