| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-color photographic-quality image of a seated Boxer puppy rendered in naturalistic brown and white tones, positioned centrally in the field against a stylized silver background featuring flowing Art Nouveau-inspired decorative motifs. Above the puppy, a faceted blue star-shaped gemstone is inlaid into the field, serving as a distinctive decorative element. The arching legend 'MY GREAT PROTECTOR' runs along the upper periphery, while the breed name 'BOXER' is inscribed in raised letters along the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Part of a broader Pacific-themed bullion and collector series issued under licence through the Reserve Bank of Fiji, this piece belongs to a run of novelty silver rounds that used Fiji's issuing authority largely as a vehicle for international collector marketing rather than domestic monetary policy. The "stone incrusted" finish — a resin or mineral inlay applied post-strike — is a production technique common to several Pacific island commemorative programs of the early 2010s, most of them distributed through European and Asian wholesale channels well outside Fiji itself.
