1 Dollar - Elizabeth II Saturn

Fiji's Reserve Bank issued this piece as part of a broader push into the collector coin market that accelerated after the 2006 military coup led by Frank Bainimarama, a period during which the government was largely cut off from international aid and sought alternative revenue streams. Numismatic exports became a modest but deliberate income source.

The Saturn subject places this within a planetary series. Copper-nickel at this size and weight was a cost-conscious choice that kept the pieces accessible to mid-tier collectors without the overhead of silver certification.
