The reverse of the coin features a dragon with a depiction of the flaming pearl. Dragons are often portrayed pursuing this metaphor for wisdom and enlightenment in fine art, and the imagery is recreated in the popular Chinese New Year dragon dances. These colourful and energetic performances, traditional representations of welcoming good fortune into a community, often include a performer holding a rod with a coloured sphere representing the pearl which is ‘chased' by the dragon. The obverse of the coin features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the inscriptions: "QUEEN ELIZABETH II" – the name of the Queen, "TUVALU" – the issuing country, "1 DOLLAR" – the face value, "2019" – the issue year and "1oz 9999 Ag" – the weight of the coin and the fineness of the Silver.
