| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts, in high relief against an antique-finished field with a deliberately rough, stone-like irregular border, a three-quarter length figure of a Terracotta Warrior from the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, rendered in detailed lamellar armor with studded leather fittings and a topknot headdress. To the warrior's left stands a bridled horse shown in profile from the head and neck, its bridle rendered in fine detail. The Chinese characters '兵马俑' (Bingmayong, meaning 'Terracotta Army') are inscribed in the upper left field. The overall design evokes the style of ancient Chinese funerary sculpture. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued as part of Fiji's long-running program of licensing internationally themed commemoratives — a revenue arrangement common among Pacific island nations with no meaningful domestic collector base — this piece draws on the Qin Dynasty burial complex at Xi'an, where an estimated 8,000 terracotta figures were interred with Qin Shi Huang around 210 BCE. The warriors were unknown to the modern world until a farmer struck one while digging a well in 1974.
Fiji's role here is purely fiduciary. The coins are legal tender in name only, produced for the international bullion and collector market.
