| Obverse description | The Fijian coat of arms is depicted at the centre of the obverse, rendered in fine relief. The country name 'FIJI' and denomination 'ONE DOLLAR' appear in the legend above the arms, while the weight, date, and fineness inscriptions are positioned below. The national motto 'Rerevaka na Kalou ka doka na Tui' (Fear God and honour the King) is incorporated into the legend. The overall design follows a formal heraldic style consistent with Commonwealth coinage traditions. |

| Additional information |
Fiji has issued legal tender collector coinage through licensing arrangements for decades, and the "Unicorn" dollar fits squarely into that category — struck not for Fijian commerce but for the international bullion and novelty collector market. The Reserve Bank of Fiji authorizes these issues, but production and distribution are handled entirely by private minting operations, typically European, with Fiji's name providing the legal tender framework.
The KM#1241 reference suggests a relatively late catalogued entry in what has become an extremely crowded field of Fijian-licensed fantasy coins.
