Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1996 Tuvalu Summer Olympics $2 silver coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases the Queen Elizabeth II's effigy in a cameo style, surrounded by a wreath of leaves and the inscription "SUMMER OLYMPICS" in bold letters. This design was specifically created to commemorate Tuvalu's participation in the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
