It was designed to rival the Eiffel Tower, which had amazed visitors at the 1889 Paris Exposition.

When it debuted in 1893, the Ferris wheel stood 264 feet tall and had 36 cars that could each hold up to 60 passengers. It could carry more than 2,000 people at a time and gave incredible views of the Chicago fairgrounds. Since then, Ferris wheels have become popular attractions around the world, now found in amusement parks and cities with modern upgrades like climate-controlled cabins and LED lighting.

Each 2025 2 oz Antique Tuvalu Silver Ferris Wheel Coin arrives in a Perth Mint display case with a clear acrylic lid. The packaging also includes a carnival-themed outer box and a Certificate of Authenticity. The coin has an antiqued finish, with the inner Ferris wheel covered in a 24-karat gold layer. Swarovski crystals are visible from the reverse side, giving the piece added detail and color.

The obverse of the 2025 Antique Tuvalu Silver Ferris Wheel Coin shows a portrait of King Charles III. His likeness is presented in left-profile without a crown. Stars fill the outer edge of the design, along with the coin’s weight, purity, face value, and issuing nation.

On the reverse, the coin includes a colorful carnival background around the outer rim. The antique surface has been enhanced with festive colors, and the centerpiece is a working Ferris wheel that rotates within the middle of the coin.
