| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic composition celebrating the air industry, depicting a large commercial jet aircraft in flight occupying the upper field, rendered in fine detail showing the fuselage, wings, and engines. In the lower portion of the field, a prominent jet turbine engine cross-section is shown in close-up relief, with detailed fan blades and engine nacelle visible. The denomination HALF DOLLAR is inscribed in raised letters along the lower exergue, set against a plain titanium field that accentuates the technical imagery. |

| Additional information |
Fiji has issued titanium collector coins since the early 2000s, exploiting the metal's capacity for vivid interference coloring through anodization — a process that requires no applied pigment, only controlled oxidation of the surface layer. This piece belongs to a broader run of Reserve Bank commemorative issues targeting the thematic collector market rather than domestic circulation.
