Aversbeschreibung The obverse depicts an elaborate architectural facade rendered in high relief in antique finish, representing the entrance to Buckingham Palace's Blue Drawing Room. At the center, a rectangular inset of genuine Rosso Levanto marble is set within an ornate doorway framed by gilded ironwork grilles and acanthus scrollwork. Flanking pilasters bear elaborate foliate and figural cartouches, with a crouching lion atop the left pedestal. The Fijian coat of arms, supported by two native warriors, is prominently displayed above the central arch, with the legend FIJI • 2014 arching along the upper rim.

Reversbeschreibung The reverse presents a meticulously detailed bird's-eye interior perspective of Buckingham Palace's Blue Drawing Room, executed in high-relief antique-finished silver. The composition captures the room's opulent Regency-era decor, including the coffered ceiling with elaborate plasterwork, towering onyx-effect columns, and richly draped curtains framing the windows along the side walls. A second inset of genuine Rosso Levanto marble occupies the central field, evoking the room's celebrated marble surfaces. Decorative furnishings, gilded cornices, and patterned parquet flooring are rendered with exceptional engraving detail throughout the field. The legend BLUE DRAWING ROOM and the series title MASTERPIECES IN STONE appear in the lower portion of the design.

Zusätzliche Informationen

Fiji's "Blue Drawing Room" note series, which this coin reproduces in three dimensions, references the formal reception room of Government House in Suva — the official residence of the Governor-General and, prior to independence, the British colonial governor. The original banknote design drew directly from that interior as a symbol of administrative authority during the colonial period.

The 2014 issue is part of a broader Fijian program commemorating historic banknote designs in struck silver, a format that gained commercial traction with collectors in the early 2010s through several Pacific island issuing authorities working with external minting contractors.
