| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-color licensed Marvel Comics depiction of Captain America in his iconic blue, red, and white costume, shown in a dynamic charging pose at the left, thrusting forward his circular vibranium shield. The shield is rendered in vivid polychrome enamel with concentric red, white, and blue rings surrounding a central luminous five-pointed star, which incorporates a light-up element. The legend MARVEL arcs in red above at the top of the field, with CAPTAIN AMERICA inscribed in large bold letters across the upper field, and the date 2017 positioned centrally below the text. |

| Additional information |
Fiji's licensing arrangement with Marvel Entertainment has produced a steady stream of legal-tender collector pieces since the early 2010s, with the island nation functioning essentially as a mint-jurisdiction-for-hire for novelty issues that could not be struck under most major sovereign mandates. This particular piece incorporates an embedded LED element — activated by a button cell in the coin's base — a construction method that disqualifies it from NGC and PCGS encapsulation entirely.
