Fiji’s 100 Cents Year of the Dragon note is a ceremonial miniature of prosperity, where legal tender, lunar symbolism, and island identity meet in a deliberately collectible form.
Design & Symbolism
Obverse
The obverse glows in yellow, red, brown, and green, with a large hibiscus flower in gold-to-green OVI, another hibiscus bloom, the Fijian coat of arms, and the formal statement that this numismatic note is legal tender in Fiji for one hundred cents. The composition uses the national flower as both ornament and identity, balancing Fijian state symbolism with the festive atmosphere of a Lunar New Year issue.
Reverse
The reverse is dominated by a stylized Chinese dragon moving through clouds beside a red lantern, with the bank logo and a holographic foil stripe containing waves, the numeral 100, leaves, a banded iguana, red-throated lorikeet, fish, corals, starfish, RBF logo, shells, and pearls. This rich security and decorative field turns the note into a bridge between Chinese auspicious imagery and Fiji’s marine and island biodiversity.
