| Obverse description | The right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley occupies the upper right quadrant of the obverse, set against a dark polished field bordered by a beaded inner circle. A central circular inlay cavity contains 40 loose faceted zircon gemstones in orange, purple, and clear colorings, evoking the hues of a tropical sunset. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left, FIJI along the upper right, the date 2012 descends on the right, and the denomination $10 appears at the bottom, all in raised lettering on the polished silver field. |

| Additional information |
Fiji's Reserve Bank has issued commemorative silver in volume since the 1970s, and by 2012 the program had expanded well beyond anything tied to significant national events — this piece belongs to that later, more commercially driven phase of the series, produced primarily for the collector market rather than any ceremonial or monetary purpose. The "Sunset" designation is a marketing category, not a historical one.
