Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse presents a detailed, high-relief depiction of the White Sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus), rendered in a naturalistic style that highlights the fish's distinctive elongated body, armoured scutes, and characteristic rostrum. The design commemorates the extinction of the Chinese Paddlefish (Psephurus gladius), which was formally declared extinct on 23 December 2019, and draws attention to the broader threat facing large freshwater species. The relief work captures fine anatomical detail, emphasising the sculptural quality of the coin's finish.

Aanvullende informatie

Fiji has no native white sturgeon. The species is endemic to Pacific Coast river systems of North America, most critically the Fraser and Columbia. This coin belongs to the broader wildlife bullion market that emerged after the success of programs like the Australian Perth Mint's animal series — a commercial genre in which issuing authority is essentially leased by small Pacific nations to foreign minting operations in exchange for seigniorage revenue. The Reserve Bank of Fiji has issued dozens of such pieces with no geographic or historical connection to the subject matter.
