Obverse: the obverse features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II based on Ian Rank-Broadley’s design. Surrounding inscriptions include „ELIZABETH II“, „FIJI“, the year „2006“, and the denomination „5 DOLLARS“.
Reverse: the reverse depicts one of the most famous Nazca geoglyphs – the stylized Tree figure carved into the Peruvian desert plateau. The inscriptions „NAZCA“ and „PERU“ appear above the design. The background represents the desert landscape where these mysterious geoglyphs were created.
About the coin: this gold coin commemorates the Nazca culture and the world-famous Nazca Lines, created in southern Peru around 1,500–2,000 years ago. These enormous figures, visible mainly from the air, remain one of archaeology’s greatest mysteries. The Tree geoglyph is among the most recognizable Nazca designs and symbolizes life and humanity’s connection with nature. The coin is struck in pure gold and is valued for both its historical theme and limited mintage.
