| Additional information |
Part of the "Extraordinary Stories" miniature gold series issued through the New Zealand Mint, this piece belongs to a licensing-driven category of modern commemoratives produced in large numbers for the collector market rather than circulation. The Robinson Crusoe narrative derives from Daniel Defoe's 1719 novel, loosely based on the real castaway Alexander Selkirk, who spent four years on the uninhabited island of Más a Tierra off the Chilean coast before his rescue in 1709.
Fiji's role here is nominal — a issuing authority of convenience for legal-tender framing on privately distributed collector product.
