| Opmerkingen |
Among the rarest of all Pacific island issues, this note was produced by the Gazette Office in Levuka — then the colonial capital of Fiji — before formal British annexation in 1874. Cakobau's government, nominally a constitutional monarchy established in 1871, operated a treasury in genuinely precarious financial circumstances, and these notes were issued to fund an administration that lacked any stable tax base or banking infrastructure.
The Levuka press had no background in security printing. Forgery resistance was essentially nil.
