| Obverse description | The Fijian coat of arms, supported by a Fijian warrior to the left and a European figure to the right, occupies the upper portion of the field within a recessed circular cartouche. The issuer name FIJI appears as a legend above the arms, and the date 2019 is divided across the field flanking the supporters. The lower portion of the field depicts a textured rendering of the lunar surface rising from the bottom, evoking the Moon as seen from space. The denomination ONE DOLLAR is inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Fiji has issued commemorative dollars tied to space milestones with some regularity, and this 2019 piece marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing. The choice of issuer is purely commercial — Fiji's mint authority licenses its name to the New Zealand Mint for collector-market pieces with no domestic circulation intended.
Silver-plated copper-nickel is the budget tier of commemorative production, a step below the .999 fine silver versions invariably released alongside it at a higher price point.
