| 背面描述 | The central field depicts a forward-facing portrait of James Watt in the lower foreground, overlaid with a diagonal compositional element evoking the Scottish saltire, behind which two detailed engravings of early steam engines are rendered in relief — a large beam-engine with flywheel at upper left and a smaller reciprocating engine at right. Watt's facsimile signature appears in cursive below the engines, accompanied by the dates 1736 - 1819 to the right. The circumferential legend JAMES WATT THE INVENTOR OF THE STEAM-ENGINE runs along the upper periphery, and the denomination 10$ is prominently inscribed at the bottom of the field, flanked by two decorative floral ornaments. |

Fiji's commemorative program in the mid-2000s leaned heavily on licensing arrangements that had little organic connection to the island nation — this piece being a frank example. Watt's improvements to the steam engine, particularly the separate condenser patented in 1769, are well-documented, but his association with Fiji is purely commercial: the coin exists because the format sold in collector markets, not because Fiji had any stake in the Industrial Revolution.
KM#235 was struck to standard commemorative specifications by a contract mint, almost certainly the Royal Mint or Pobjoy, under blanket licensing for Pacific island issuers.
