The portrait is rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, with the engraver's initials RDM visible at the truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left periphery, with FIJI and the date 1995 along the right. |

| Additional information |
Fiji's 1970 independence from Britain was the event commemorated, though this coin was struck a full quarter-century after the fact. The 25th anniversary issues of the mid-1990s were common across Pacific and Caribbean nations — the Reserve Bank of Fiji used the occasion to produce a series of collector gold pieces with limited distribution through the international numismatic trade rather than domestic circulation.
KM#98 was struck at a low mintage, though precise figures remain inconsistently reported across major references.
