| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Fijian coat of arms at center-left, featuring two shield-bearing figures flanking a quartered escutcheon, with the national motto scroll below. The country name FIJI arcs above the arms, while the denomination ONE DOLLAR is inscribed vertically along the left margin. The date 2014 appears in the lower field, and the inscriptions 1/2 OZ 925 SILVER run along the curved right edge. The entire field is decorated with an intricate repeating pattern of interlocking horseshoe motifs, giving the design a dynamic, celebratory character befitting this commemorative series. The coin's distinctive crescent or yin-yang-inspired irregular shape frames all design elements elegantly. |

| Additional information |
Fiji's lunar series coins are struck under license and produced almost entirely for the collector market — no meaningful circulation ever occurs. This particular issue corresponds to the Wood Horse year in the sexagenary cycle, a year the Chinese almanac associates with practicality and independence. The Reserve Bank of Fiji has issued commemorative coinage for decades largely as a revenue mechanism, a practice common among smaller Pacific nations whose collector issues far outnumber any domestically circulated equivalent.
