| Additional information |
The "Move to Buckingham Palace 1937" subject commemorates the young Princess Elizabeth's relocation to the palace following her father's accession as George VI after Edward VIII's abdication — an abdication crisis that reshaped the British monarchy and, by extension, the constitutional arrangements of every realm that used the Crown as head of state, Fiji among them. Fiji had only become a republic in 1987 following the Rabuka coups, yet returned Elizabeth II to its coinage through the Reserve Bank's commemorative program.
