| Additional information |
The "Taku" name references the Fijian word for the hawksbill turtle, and the series was produced by the New Zealand Mint under license — a common arrangement for Pacific island bullion issues where the nominal issuing authority holds no minting infrastructure of its own. Fiji's use of collectible bullion coinage has been a consistent revenue mechanism since the late 2000s, with the Reserve Bank lending its imprimatur to products aimed squarely at the international collector market rather than domestic circulation.
At 15.55 g, this is a half-troy-ounce issue — a weight tier that saw significant commercial expansion after spot silver climbed past $30/oz around 2011, making fractional bullion economically attractive to smaller buyers.
