The coin’s obverse bears a right-side portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, this portrait has been appearing on coinage for over two decades. The monarch is shown wearing earrings and a tiara, and Rank-Broadley’s initials, “IRB,” are inscribed at the bottom of the effigy. The monarch’s name, “QUEEN ELIZABETH II,” arches over the image along the rim. From left to right, other rim inscriptions offer the coin’s weight and purity, “1 OZ 9999 AG,” its date, “2020,” the name of the issuing country, “TUVALU,” and the coin’s face value, “1 DOLLAR.”
The reverse features a colorful mix of the world’s most popular emojis. Among them are a girl raising her hand, balloons, a unicorn, and faces making different expressions. The name of the coin, “EMOJI,” is inscribed at the top.
