Shrek debuted in 2001 as one of the first computer-animated comedy films set in a fantasy universe. The film focused on the green ogre known as Shrek and was somewhat based on a 1990 fairy tale book written by William Steig with the same title. The film included the talented voicing of actors like Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and John Lithgow for the major characters in the film.

As the franchise continued with future films in 2004, 2007, and 2010, more characters were added to the franchise and other characters, like Donkey, were expanded upon with greater roles than the original films. In this silver coin design, you will find three of the main characters from the franchise coming together to celebrate Christmas.

Obverse visuals on the 2021 Fiji Silver Shrek Christmas Coins include the Fijian coat of arms. The seal includes a quartered shield at the center with sugarcane stalks, a coconut palm, a dove with an olive branch, and a cluster of bananas in the individual quadrants. The shield is quartered by the Cross of St. George and comes with a lion at the top that is clutching a cocoa pod in its paws. The shield is supported by Fijian figures with a Polynesian outrigger canoe above the shield.

Reverse elements in the 2021 1 oz Silver Shrek Christmas Coin design include three major characters from the franchise. Shrek is the base of the character tower, with Donkey standing on his head and outstretched hand. On Donkeys nose, Puss in Boots reaches out to put a star atop the Christmas tree.
