| Additional information |
Part of a broader Pacific island commemorative program that flooded the collector market in the late 2000s and early 2010s, this piece was produced for Fiji by a European mint-on-demand operator — the island nation itself having no minting facility. Fiji's use of Elizabeth II's effigy on such issues is a residual of its Commonwealth membership, though Fiji was suspended from the Commonwealth in 2006 following Bainimarama's coup and only readmitted in 2014.
The coin saw no circulation in Fiji whatsoever.
