| Obverse description | The obverse presents the Fijian coat of arms in high relief at center, flanked by two indigenous Fijian warriors in traditional dress serving as supporters. The shield displays the Cross of St. George with a British lion passant in the first quarter and sugarcane, coconut palm, dove, and banana motifs in the remaining quarters. A British lion above the shield serves as the crest, while a Fijian canoe occupies the base. The legend 'FIJI 2019' arcs along the upper rim, with the denomination '10 DOLLARS' inscribed along the lower rim, and the fineness notation '3oz Ag 999' appearing to the left and right of the coat of arms in the field. |

| Additional information |
Fiji's Reserve Bank has issued a substantial run of large-format silver art pieces under legal tender status, a practice common among Pacific island nations whose numismatic programs function essentially as bullion art exports rather than monetary instruments. The Gothic Mandala series sits within that commercial framework — produced for the collector market by a contracted mint, with Fiji lending its issuing authority.
KM#836 is among dozens of similar high-relief or colored issues licensed through this arrangement in the 2010s.
