| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborate mandala composition inspired by Jewish spiritual and cultural traditions, featuring intricate symmetrical geometric patterns radiating outward from a central circular Blue Agate insert. The inlaid agate stone, displaying natural banding and deep blue coloration, serves as the focal point of the design. Surrounding the agate, finely engraved interlocking geometric forms and decorative motifs reference traditional Jewish artistic heritage. The overall composition is rendered in antique finish with applied color, enhancing the visual depth and artistic complexity of the design. |

| Additional information |
Fiji has functioned as a legal tender host for commemorative programs since the 1970s, lending its monetary authority to issues with no meaningful connection to the islands themselves. This coin belongs to that well-established category — a collector-market product using Fijian authorization purely as a licensing arrangement, a practice that accelerated sharply after the 2000s as Pacific micro-states discovered the revenue potential of their minting rights.
The mandala format in numismatic silver became commercially dominant in the late 2010s, driven largely by the antique-finish colorized market out of European and Asian mints targeting thematic collectors rather than traditional numismatists.
