| Beschrijving voorzijde | The central field features the coat of arms of Fiji set within a circular border, flanked on either side by the split date 20-17. The arms display two Fijian warriors as supporters holding traditional weapons, with a quartered shield at centre and a British lion passant above. The lunar surface is depicted in low relief across the lower portion of the field, evoking the Apollo mission theme. The legend FIJI appears above the coat of arms, and the denomination ONE DOLLAR is inscribed along the lower rim. |

The legend APOLLO 8 is inscribed along the upper border within a raised rim, flanked by small five-pointed stars arranged around the inner circle. The inscriptions APOLLO CSM-103 and DECEMBER 21, 1968 appear in the lower field and along the lower border respectively, commemorating the mission designation and launch date. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Apollo 8, launched December 21, 1968, was the first crewed mission to leave Earth's gravitational influence and orbit the Moon — ten orbits over twenty hours. The crew's Christmas Eve broadcast, during which Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and William Anders read from Genesis while viewers saw the first live television images from lunar orbit, drew an estimated one billion listeners worldwide. Fiji's commemorative program has long issued coins tied to space milestones, with silver-plated copper-nickel keeping these accessible as collectibles rather than bullion pieces.
