Coin | Silver Ounce 2020 Marvel - Avengers Logo |

Apart from its regular circulating coinage, Fiji has authorised a number of private mints to issue collector coins in precious metals, which are legal tender in the country but are not intended for general circulation. Many of them are in standard bullion sizes - typically, one ounce of silver (abbreviated as 1 oz Ag, where "Ag" comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum). These are usually made using innovative techniques and are dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes not related to Fiji itself.
This coloured and specially shaped coin is part of the Cinema Series by The Crown Mint, and features the Avengers Logo.
The Mint says about it: The brainchild of S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury the Avengers stand as the planet's first line of defence against the most powerful threats in the universe. The Avengers fight the foes no single superhero can withstand!
Struck in 1oz of pure silver, this stunning new logo-shaped coin is officially licensed by Marvel and authentic, $2 legal tender currency from the island nation of Fiji. |

Obverse | |
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.
On the left and right, separated by the Coat of Arms, the precious metal content: 1oz .999 FINE SILVER (one troy ounce of 99.9% silver).
Around above, the name of the country and the date of issue: FIJI 2020; around below, the face value 2 DOLLARS. |
