These 2026 1 oz Tuvalu Colorized Silver DUNE Coins are available with unique, individual packaging.

The reverse has selective applications of colorization to bring the scene to life.
 
In the obverse design of the 2026 Tuvalu Colorized Silver DUNE Coin, you will find a first-generation portrait of King Charles III. Commonly used on Tuvaluan and other South Pacific coinage, this left-profile relief of His Majesty was created by Jody Clark and shows the king without a crown.
For the reverse of 2026 1 oz Colorized Silver DUNE Coins, the design features the Emperor’s grand ship and imperial tent in the deserts of Arrakis. Arrakis, the desert planet at the heart of Dune, is one of the most fully realized fictional environments in all of literature. A world of merciless heat, vast open ergs of golden sand, and virtually no surface water, it is a place where survival demands extraordinary discipline and intimate knowledge of the land.
 
In the world of Dune, the arrival of the Padishah Emperor is heralded by the deployment of his grand ceremonial infrastructure: a spacecraft of imperial scale and a vast, richly appointed tent city erected on the sands of Arrakis. These structures serve as more than a logistical necessity; they are carefully choreographed displays of authority, designed to project the Emperor’s supremacy even in the most remote and inhospitable corner of his domain.
