| Reverse description | A finely detailed depiction of a grazing zebra, shown in left profile with head lowered toward the ground, occupies the central recessed field, which is decorated with an engraved zebra-stripe pattern providing a naturalistic background. The upper legend GREAT ANIMALS OF THE WORLD curves along the rim, while the word for zebra in six languages — ZEBRA, zebry, CEBRA, Зебры, ζέβρα, and 斑馬 — is inscribed around the inner border, separated by raised dots. The denomination ONE DOLLAR appears in bold relief along the lower rim. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

| Additional information |
Fiji's wildlife-themed circulation dollar series, introduced in the mid-2000s, was partly a response to the practical need to distinguish the one-dollar coin from smaller denominations by feel and weight — the scalloped edge on some issues in this series served that function. KM#139 falls within a broader Pacific-region trend of larger copper-nickel dollars retaining wildlife reverses long after many neighboring island nations had shifted to bimetallic or polymer formats.
