| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely sculpted unicorn stands in three-quarter profile at center, facing left with its right foreleg raised in a prancing pose, its flowing mane and tail rendered with exceptional relief detail. The mythical creature is set within an ornate wreath-like border of foliage and botanical motifs, framing the composition in a gothic-inspired arch. A decorative foliate finial crowns the arch at the top, while additional flora fills the surrounding field, creating a richly textured background. The mirrored proof fields contrast sharply with the frosted device, highlighting the sculptural quality of the design. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The unicorn here is one of the ten heraldic "supporters" historically associated with the Scottish royal coat of arms, a tradition absorbed into British imperial imagery and carried into colonial and Commonwealth coinage. Fiji's post-independence issues have repeatedly revisited this heraldic vocabulary, partly as collector product and partly as a function of the Pobjoy and New Zealand mints' long-standing relationships with Pacific island issuing authorities who license designs for the bullion novelty market.
