Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which was designed specifically for the Tuvaluan coinage. The portrait was created by the British sculptor and engraver, Arnold Machin, and it is known as the "second portrait" because it was introduced in 1976, replacing the original portrait of the Queen that had been used on Tuvaluan coins since 1970. The use of this special portrait sets the coin apart from other coins issued by Tuvalu during the same period.
