| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a curious category of modern numismatic product — the fractional gold issue struck not for circulation but for collector arbitrage between precious metal value and legal-tender face value. Fiji's name appears on a growing number of such commissions produced in the 2000s under licensing arrangements, with the actual striking typically contracted to private minting operations rather than any sovereign facility. The 'Libertad' branding here references the Mexican Libertad series aesthetically rather than any formal relationship with the Banco de México.
