Platinum Half Gram 2022 Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee, Coin from Fiji - detailed information

The obverse of the coin shows at its centre the Coat of Arms of Fiji, as adopted in 1908 by a Royal Warrant, consisting of a shield divided quarterly by the Cross of St. George and charged with lion at the top, supported by two Fijian warriors, one on each side - one clutching a spear and one holding a totokia club, and topped with a takia - a traditional Fijian outrigger canoe, in full sail.

The objects on the Coat of Arms carry cultural, political, and regional meanings. The Cross of St. George and the lion at the top represent the United Kingdom, the former colonial power that ruled over Fiji. The cacao pod held in the lion's paw, along with the sugarcane, coconut palm and bananas occupying three of the four quadrants, represent the country's natural resource. The bottom left quadrant contains a dove that symbolises peace.

At the bottom is the country's motto: Rerevaka na kalou ka doka na Tui; translated from Fijian: Fear God and honour the Queen.

Around above, the name of the country and the date of issue: FIJI 2022.

Below, the face value 1 DOLLAR.

The reverse of the coin depicts the Crown of Saint Edward, which has traditionally been used to crown English and British monarchs at their coronations since the 13th century (with a two-century gap between 1689 and 1911), and also forms a part of the Queen's Royal Cypher.

In small letters around left, the inscription ST. EDWARD'S CROWN; around right, the precious metal content 0.5 G .999 PLATINUM (one half of a gram of 99.9% platinum).

In large letters near the rim, the inscription PLATINUM JUBILEE OF CORONATION 1952 - 2022.
