| Reverse description | A samurai warrior is depicted in a dynamic fighting stance, rendered in high relief against a detailed background. The figure is dressed in traditional Japanese armor and robes, gripping a sword raised above the shoulder in a combative posture. A stylized representation of Mount Fuji rises prominently in the background to the right, while architectural elements suggestive of a feudal Japanese setting appear to the left. The composition conveys a sense of tension and movement, executed in finely detailed proof-quality relief across the coin's field. |

| Additional information |
Fiji has issued commemorative silver rounds under its own authority since the late 20th century, largely as a vehicle for the international bullion collectibles market rather than any domestic monetary purpose. This piece belongs to a broader "Ancient Warriors" series that has cycled through historical archetypes from multiple cultures — a format popular with Perth Mint-style program buyers.
The samurai class was formally abolished by the Meiji government in 1876, following the Haitōrei Edict banning the carrying of swords in public.
