| Obverse description | The central field displays the full Coat of Arms of Fiji, featuring a quartered shield supported by two Fijian warriors: one holding a spear to the left and one holding a tabua (whale's tooth) to the right. The shield is surmounted by a British sailing vessel and bears charges including a lion passant, sugarcane, a coconut palm, a dove, and a banana plant, with a white cross. Below the shield, a scroll carries the Fijian national motto 'Rerevaka na Kalou ka doka na Tui' ('Fear God and honour the Queen'). The denomination '10 DOLLARS' appears in the lower field, flanked by the fineness inscriptions '5oz' to the left and 'Ag 999' to the right. The outer legend reads '10TH ANNIVERSARY OF MANDALA ART SERIES' encircling 'FIJI 2024' in the upper field, separated by a rope-style inner border. |

| Additional information |
Fiji has issued collector silver in considerable volume over the past two decades, and the Reserve Bank has leaned heavily into themed art series aimed at the international bullion-collector market rather than domestic circulation. This piece belongs to that category entirely — a five-ounce format with no pretense of monetary use.
The KM#1231 reference places it among a crowded field of similar Fijian issues catalogued in the same period, many sharing the same planchet specification across different decorative themes.
