Standing 264 feet tall with 36 passenger cars that could hold up to 60 people each, the original Ferris wheel was an engineering marvel that could carry over 2,000 passengers at once and offered breathtaking views of the Chicago fairgrounds. The concept quickly spread worldwide, evolving from temporary fair attractions to permanent installations in amusement parks and city skylines, with modern versions incorporating advanced safety systems, climate-controlled gondolas, and LED lighting displays.

All 2025 2 oz Antique Tuvalu Silver Ferris Wheel Coins are available in a classic Perth Mint display case with a clear acrylic lid. The display case arrives in a carnival-themed outer box and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. The coin is antiqued throughout with a thin layer of 24-karat gold on the Ferris wheel. Viewed from the reverse, you’ll see the inset Swarovski crystals. 

On the obverse of 2025 Antique Tuvalu Silver Ferris Wheel Coin, you will find a portrait of King Charles III at the top of the design field. His effigy is shown in left-profile relief without a crown on his head. Around the outer edge, stars fill the field alongside the identifying hallmarks of the coin.

The reverse of the 2025 2 oz Antique Silver Ferris Wheel Coin comes with a depiction of a carnival background. The antique field is enhanced with festive colorization on the carnival elements, with the moving Ferris wheel at the center of the coin.
