| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is struck in the silhouette shape of a stylized Terracotta Army warrior figure, depicting the back of the soldier's head with finely engraved parallel lines representing the characteristic knotted hair bun of the Qin dynasty warriors. The lower body section bears the Fijian coat of arms at center, flanked by the legends 'FIJI' and '2024' above, with the motto 'Rerevaka na Kalou ka doka na Tui' inscribed on a ribbon below the shield. The denomination 'HALF DOLLAR' appears in the lower field, while the weight and fineness designation '10g Ag 999' is inscribed vertically along the left edge. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse continues the shaped silhouette of the stylized Terracotta Army warrior, presenting a front-facing, cartoonish yet detailed rendition of an armored Chinese warrior figure. The soldier's smiling face features arched brows and a broad grin, with elaborately engraved armor covering the torso and shoulders rendered in fine line work characteristic of the original terracotta sculptures. The warrior's hands are positioned at the front of the body in a clasped or offering gesture. The design employs a combination of frosted relief and mirrored proof fields to distinguish the figure's features and armored detail from the highly polished background. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Fiji has issued commemorative silver under Reserve Bank authority since the 1970s, but this piece belongs to a much more recent wave of licensed Chinese cultural-theme coins produced largely for the collector market rather than domestic circulation. The Terracotta Army was discovered in 1974 by farmers digging a well near Xi'an — one of the most consequential archaeological finds of the twentieth century, eventually revealing an estimated 8,000 figures guarding the tomb of Qin Shi Huang.
Fiji's nominal denomination gives the coin legal tender status while keeping production costs outside Chinese mint jurisdiction.
