| Obverse description | The obverse displays the full arms of Fiji, featuring a quartered shield supported by two Fijian warriors in traditional dress — the dexter supporter bearing a spear and the sinister holding a palm frond — surmounted by a British sailing vessel as crest. The quartered shield depicts a lion passant in the chief, with sugar cane, a coconut palm, a dove, and a bunch of bananas in the quarters. A scroll at the base of the arms bears the national motto in Fijian script. The legend FIJI 2022 arcs across the upper field, with 5oz to the left and .999 FINE SILVER to the right of the arms, while the denomination 5 DOLLARS appears in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Fiji has issued collector-focused wildlife silver since the early 2000s, largely through licensing arrangements with the New Zealand Mint, which produces many Pacific island nation coins on a contract basis. The actual connection to Fijian monetary policy is essentially nominal — these are bullion collectibles issued under a sovereign license, not circulating currency.
At 155.5 g, this is a 5 oz format, standard in the modern collector silver market for oversized themed issues.
