Mandalas are spiritual ritual symbols particularly popular in the Dharmic faiths like Hinduism, Buddhism etc which generally represent the universe. Modern mandalas include the temporary exhibits made from sand popular in Tibetan culture.

The second issue in a series of Mandala coins from Fiji offers a Celtic touch. The reverse of the coin features intricate detail rich with Mandela symbolism rooted in Celtic traditions, with an aqua-green malachite stone at the center.

The obverse of the coin carries the coat of arms of Fiji, the denomination and year of issue, 2016.
