| Obverse description | The central field bears the full coat of arms of Fiji, flanked by two traditional Fijian warrior supporters, with a shield quartered with national emblems and a British lion above. The legend arching across the upper field reads 'FIJI' followed by the date of issue, while the lower field carries the denomination '2 DOLLARS' and the left and right fields bear the inscriptions '5 TROY OZ' and '999 SILVER' respectively, arranged radially around the central device. The coin is struck with an antique finish on an irregular flan, lending a textured, aged appearance to the entire surface. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, densely composed depiction of the Terracotta Army of Xi'an, rendered in high relief across the entire field of the irregular flan. Ranks of life-sized armoured warriors in their characteristic lamellar armour and distinctive headgear are shown standing in formation, receding into the background to convey depth and scale, with rocky terrain visible at the lower right. The figures in the foreground are individually modelled with finely engraved facial features and armour detail, faithfully evoking the Qin dynasty funerary sculptures. The Chinese characters '兵马俑' (Bīngmǎyǒng, meaning 'Terracotta Army') appear as a legend arching across the upper portion of the field. The antique finish enhances the archaeological character of the design. |
