| Obverse description | The obverse is divided into two distinct quadrants. The left half features the national coat of arms of Fiji above the inscriptions FIJI, 2023, and 2 DOLLARS arranged in three lines in the lower field. The right half depicts two highly detailed goldfish rendered in high relief against a decorative background of overlapping wave-scale motifs in the Japanese seigaiha style, one fish swimming upward and one downward. The legend 1 OZ 999 FINE SILVER appears along the lower rim of the right panel. |

| Additional information |
Fiji has issued a steady stream of novelty bullion pieces aimed squarely at the collector market, and this goldfish issue is squarely in that tradition — a legal tender assignment from the Reserve Bank that involves no expectation of circulation. The denomination is nominal; the coin's entire commercial rationale is the secondary collector and gift market, where silver rounds dressed as Pacific island currency have found consistent buyers since at least the early 2010s.
