| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Coat of Arms of Fiji in high relief at center, featuring the heraldic shield with supporting lion and canoe, flanked by two Fijian warriors as supporters. The national motto 'Rerevaka na Kalou ka doka na Tui' ('Fear God and honor the King') is inscribed on a scroll beneath the shield. The legend 'FIJI' appears prominently in the upper field, with the denomination '$5' placed in the lower field. The design is rendered in the antiqued high-relief style characteristic of this commemorative series. |

| Additional information |
Fiji's panda-themed bullion issues occupy a peculiar corner of the commemorative market — struck not for any monetary or diplomatic purpose specific to Fiji, but produced under licensing arrangements that allow Pacific island nations with minimal mint infrastructure to attach their name to coins designed and sold primarily to the Chinese collector market. The 35th anniversary counts from the inaugural 1982 Chinese Panda series.
At 248.8 grams of .999 silver, this is an 8-troy-ounce piece — a size introduced specifically to attract premium buyers who treat these as stackable bullion with numismatic markup.
