The obverse of the coin shows the crowned mature head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (her effigy known as the "Fourth Portrait"). The Queen wears the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland" diamond tiara, a wedding gift from Queen Mary (Her Majesty's grandmother) in 1947 - which she also has on the Machin and the Gottwald portraits.

In small letters below the head, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley).

Around the effigy is the monarch's legend, the date of issue and the value: QUEEN ELIZABETH II 1oz 9999 SILVER 2016 TUVALU 1 DOLLAR.

The inscription around the rim also incorporates the precious metal content, meaning one troy ounce of 99.99% silver.

The reverse design shows Japanese bomber planes flying low over American battle ships.

Around above near the rim, the inscription 75TH ANNIVERSARY. Around below, PEARL HARBOR MCMXLI (MCMXLI is the Latin numeral for the year when the attack happened, 1941).
