| Description de l’avers |
The obverse features the coat of arms of Fiji centrally positioned within a raised inner circle, flanked by two traditional Fijian warriors as supporters, each holding a weapon. Above the shield, a British sailing vessel appears on a heraldic wreath, while the shield itself is quartered and features a lion passant, sugar cane, a coconut palm, and a dove. A scroll below the supporters bears the Fijian national motto in Latin script. The legend FIJI 2025 arcs across the upper portion of the inner circle, with the denomination 5 DOLLA along the lower arc; the fineness indicators 2 oz and Ag 999 appear to either side of the coat of arms. The outer annular field displays a finely engraved bird's-eye panoramic view of a medieval Slavic fortified settlement, rendered in high relief. |

| Description du revers |
The reverse presents a full-colour comic-book illustration from the celebrated Polish animated series Kajko i Kokosz, depicting a humorous indoor scene within a medieval hall. At left, the muscular warrior Mirmił, clad in furs and wearing a headband, gestures dramatically; beside him stands Kokosz in his distinctive black tunic. Several additional characters, including a robed elder and an armoured figure, are grouped to the right. Speech bubbles in Polish script contain dialogue between the characters. The upper border carries the arched legend WOJE MIRMILA in relief on a silver ground, and the title KAJKO i KOKOSZ appears in bold red lettering within a cloud-shaped cartouche at the bottom of the field. An artist's signature is visible in the lower right of the image area. |

Mirmillo (often rendered "mirmil" in Slavic-market numismatic marketing) was a heavily armed gladiatorial class identified by a distinctive crested helmet, paired in the arena almost exclusively against the retiarius. The type became a fixture in mid-20th-century collector series after decades of excavation at Pompeii and Capua produced substantial archaeological evidence of gladiatorial equipment, fueling renewed popular interest.
Fiji's Reserve Bank has issued its name to a long sequence of licensed bullion-adjacent collector coins with no meaningful connection to the issuing territory — a practice common among small Pacific sovereigns whose minting authority functions effectively as a revenue instrument for foreign coin marketers.
