| Reverse description | The reverse features a large, naturalistically rendered color image of a Dachshund puppy seated in the right portion of the field, depicted in black and tan tones with fine detail. To the left, a silhouette of a young girl running is shown in relief against a darkened field, accompanied by the outline of a small dog at her feet and decorative butterfly motifs in the upper right. A faceted gemstone inlay in the shape of a bone is set at the lower center of the design. The breed name 'DACHSHUND' is inscribed in the upper right field, and the legend 'MY BEST FRIEND' arcs along the lower edge. |

| Additional information |
Fiji has served as the nominal issuer for dozens of collector-market coins it has no organic connection to, a legal arrangement that allows foreign minting houses — primarily the Monnaie de Paris and various Pacific island licensing deals — to attach sovereign authority to themed bullion without involving a nation with stronger numismatic brand recognition. This piece is one of them. The dachshund series it belongs to was produced for the European collector market, where breed-specific dog coins have sustained reliable secondary demand since the early 2000s.
