| Additional information |
KM#146a is the gold-plated variant of the standard copper-nickel dollar, distinguished in collector catalogs as the "albino yellow fish" type — a designation almost certainly derived from the coloring applied to the fish depicted, rather than any albinism in the minting process itself. Fiji's Reserve Bank issued a number of color-applied and plated commemoratives in the late 2000s targeting the thematic collector market, and pieces like this one were never intended for circulation.
