| Additional information |
Polokwane, a city in South Africa's Limpopo province, hosted the 2010 FIFA World Cup group stage matches — the broader event for which Fiji issued this piece as part of a commemorative series. Fiji had no footballing connection to the tournament whatsoever, making this squarely a bullion-adjacent souvenir issue capitalizing on global enthusiasm rather than any national sporting stake.
The trimetallic construction places it in a small category of coins where the manufacturing complexity far exceeds the face value's purchasing power.
