The Hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata bissa), or locally named Taku, is one of two main turtle species of the South Pacific island nation of Fiji. Although they have a wide distribution throughout the world's tropical regions, Hawksbill Turtles are considered critically endangered due to human fishing practices. Taku grow up to a metre in length and a weight of 80kg, although the heaviest on record weighed 127kg.

Struck from .999 fine silver, this gold gilded Taku coin is presented in an aqua blue gift box, the same color as the waters of the Pacific Ocean. This issue is also available as a silver bullion coin.
