Fiji's 2010 coinage reform replaced the Elizabeth II portrait series with a new national identity set ahead of the country's broader currency restructuring — this dollar was among the last issues to carry the colonial-era reverse design before Fiji's $2 coin became the workhorse denomination for higher-value transactions. The trimetallic construction was adopted partly as an anti-counterfeiting measure and partly to satisfy vending machine operators, a practical lobbying force in Pacific island currency decisions that is rarely acknowledged in official mint documentation.
KM#163 is sometimes confused with transitional issues from the same year. Port Elizabeth on this attribution refers to the South African Mint facility that struck these pieces under contract.
