| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-colour comic-book illustration from the celebrated Polish animated series Kajko i Kokosz, depicting a humorous indoor scene within a medieval hall. At left, the muscular warrior Mirmił, clad in furs and wearing a headband, gestures dramatically; beside him stands Kokosz in his distinctive black tunic. Several additional characters, including a robed elder and an armoured figure, are grouped to the right. Speech bubbles in Polish script contain dialogue between the characters. The upper border carries the arched legend WOJE MIRMILA in relief on a silver ground, and the title KAJKO i KOKOSZ appears in bold red lettering within a cloud-shaped cartouche at the bottom of the field. An artist's signature is visible in the lower right of the image area. |

| Additional information |
Mirmillo (often rendered "mirmil" in Slavic-market numismatic marketing) was a heavily armed gladiatorial class identified by a distinctive crested helmet, paired in the arena almost exclusively against the retiarius. The type became a fixture in mid-20th-century collector series after decades of excavation at Pompeii and Capua produced substantial archaeological evidence of gladiatorial equipment, fueling renewed popular interest.
Fiji's Reserve Bank has issued its name to a long sequence of licensed bullion-adjacent collector coins with no meaningful connection to the issuing territory — a practice common among small Pacific sovereigns whose minting authority functions effectively as a revenue instrument for foreign coin marketers.
