The legend QUEEN ELIZABETH II arcs across the upper field, while the inscriptions 1/2 OZ 999 SILVER, 2016, TUVALU, and 50 CENTS are distributed around the lower and lateral fields. The engraver's initials IRB appear beneath the portrait truncation. The design is rendered in a polished proof finish with frosted relief against mirror fields. |

| Reverse description | Vibrant color-printed design depicting two lynx cubs in a naturalistic wilderness setting. One cub is shown bounding playfully toward the viewer in the left foreground, while a second larger cub reclines in the lower right, both rendered with striking blue eyes and detailed tawny fur markings. The background features a panoramic alpine landscape with snow-capped mountains, a glacial lake, and coniferous trees. Paw prints are visible in the snow in the middle ground. The word 'Cubs' appears in a stylized cursive script at the upper field, accompanied by the Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark and the 'TV' series mark at the lower left. |
