The denomination '$1' appears in the upper field above the central motif, with the legend 'SAQĀMOLI' inscribed below the vessel. The octagonal inner frame provides a structured cartouche contrasting with the round coin format. |

| Additional information |
Fiji's dollar coinage shifted to brass-plated steel in 2012 following a national redenomination and currency reform that eliminated the one and two cent coins entirely. The colourized variant was produced for the collector market rather than circulation — applied colour on circulation-spec planchets occupies an awkward commercial niche that serious collectors tend to avoid and casual buyers rarely understand.
