| Reverse description | The reverse displays a richly coloured and 24-carat gold-gilded representation of three ancient Egyptian deities standing in a ceremonial triad composition, identified as Osiris flanked by Horus and Isis, rendered in the style of New Kingdom sculptural statuary. The central figure stands on a plinth bearing hieroglyphic inscriptions, while the flanking deities stand in formal Egyptian pose with their respective divine attributes. The coloured background incorporates Egyptian architectural and decorative motifs including hieroglyphic wall reliefs. Interspersed around the inner border are ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbols. The multilingual legend 'EGYPT - ÄGYPTEN - EGIPTO - ÉGYPTE' is inscribed around the outer legend in four languages. |

| Additional information |
Part of a broader Pacific mint-driven series pairing Commonwealth issuers with ancient Egyptian iconography — a combination that has nothing to do with Fiji's history and everything to do with the collector bullion market that emerged aggressively in the early 2010s. Fiji's government authorized numerous such novelty issues during this period, lending sovereign status to products designed entirely for the hobby market.
