| Obverse description | The Fijian coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring two Fijian warriors as supporters — the dexter holding a spear and the sinister holding a bunch of sugarcane — flanking a quartered shield surmounted by a sailing vessel. A scrolled ribbon below bears the national motto in the Fijian language. The legend 'FIJI 2024' arcs across the upper field, while the denomination '50 CENTS' appears in the lower legend. The weight indicator '1oz' is inscribed to the left of the arms and the purity designation '.999 FINE SILVER' to the right. |

| Additional information |
Fiji has served as the issuing authority for hundreds of third-party licensed collector coins since the early 2000s, functioning essentially as a mint proxy for European producers — primarily the Mint of Poland and a handful of Austrian and Slovak operations — who need a sovereign name on the coin without the overhead of a national program. This particular piece combines two of the most commercially licensed images in the world, both controlled by separate institutional rights holders: the Louvre for the da Vinci, and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam for the Saint-Rémy canvas.
