| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, full-color chromatic print of a tabby cat depicted in a standing three-quarter pose, facing the viewer with its tail raised. The feline is rendered in a naturalistic Victorian illustration style, surrounded by green grasses and flowering plants including a yellow and a blue bloom at the lower left. The composition fills the entire field of the coin. The word 'CATS' is inscribed in a casual hand-lettered style along the upper right periphery. |

| Additional information |
Fiji has issued commemorative silver rounds under its own authority since the late 20th century, largely as vehicles for the international bullion collectibles market rather than domestic circulation. This piece belongs to a wave of licensed wildlife-themed issues produced for that market in the early 2020s, where the Reserve Bank of Fiji served effectively as a licensing jurisdiction for overseas minting operations — a common arrangement among Pacific island nations whose names carry collector appeal but whose mints do not strike the coins themselves.
KM#1046 places this squarely in a crowded series.
