| 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. |

| Additional information |
Fiji's filigree bullion series was produced by the New Zealand Mint on behalf of the Reserve Bank, a common arrangement for Pacific island nations whose own minting infrastructure is nonexistent. The snake is the sixth animal in the twelve-year Chinese zodiac cycle, and 2013 was indeed a Year of the Snake — making this a straightforward calendar-release piece aimed squarely at the Southeast Asian collector market.
