| Obverse description | The obverse features a raised filigree depiction of a coiled snake rendered in fine rope-like silver wirework, centrally placed within a polished mirror field. The Fijian coat of arms appears in small relief in the upper left of the border. The circular legend reads 'ONE FIJI DOLLAR' along the upper periphery and '2013' along the lower periphery, separated by decorative bullet points. The purity designation 'Ag 999' is inscribed in the lower left field. The overall design combines a proof finish on the raised rim and border lettering with a deeply mirrored inner field accentuating the intricate filigree centerpiece. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a large, intricately rendered filigree snake coiled in an S-shape at the center of a polished concave field, its body formed from fine twisted silver rope-like strands with a detailed head featuring an open mouth. Flanking the central motif along the lower rim are two additional snake figures rendered in high-relief engraving, their bodies extending in opposite directions around the border, evoking a decorative frame. The legend 'THE YEAR OF THE SNAKE' arcs across the upper portion of the border in bold, stylized capital lettering with an East Asian-influenced typeface. The contrast between the mirror-polished inner field and the finely detailed filigree snake creates a striking three-dimensional visual effect characteristic of this collector series. |
