| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the third portrait by Raphael Maklouf, depicting the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, drop earrings, and a necklace. The truncation of the neck is cleanly rendered against a deeply mirrored proof field. The legend QUEEN ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper periphery, with TUVALU to the right and the date 2005 along the lower right, all in raised Latin characters. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed depiction of an Australian owl perched on a naturalistic branch occupies the centre of the reverse field, rendered in high relief with meticulous engraving of individual feathers across the breast, wings, and facial disc. The bird faces forward with alert, forward-set eyes above a small hooked beak. The legend 1/2 OZ 9999 GOLD appears in raised letters along the upper left field, while the denomination 50 DOLLARS is inscribed in two lines at the lower right. The engraver's initials WR are visible at the base of the branch near the owl's talons. |
