| Reverse description | A highly detailed, high-relief depiction of a Chinese celestial dragon dominates the field, its sinuous, scale-covered body coiling dynamically across the coin's surface with the head facing right and jaws open. The background features stylized wave motifs at the base, and a decorative Greek-key border pattern encircles the inner field. The legend YEAR OF DRAGON arcs along the upper periphery, while the date 2024 appears in the lower exergue, all within the same decorative border. |

| Additional information |
Fiji's Reserve Bank has issued lunar-themed collector coinage with some regularity, but this particular release targets the international bullion and numismatic gift market that surges every Chinese New Year cycle. The Year of the Dragon holds specific commercial weight in that market — dragon years consistently outsell adjacent lunar years among Southeast Asian buyers, a pattern dealers have tracked since at least the 1990s.
The dual KM references suggest two distinct issues within the same lunar cycle, likely differentiated by finish or privy mark rather than a substantive design change.
