1 Dollar Year of the 3 Kings

The "Year of the Three Kings" refers to 1936, when Britain saw three monarchs in a single calendar year — George V died in January, Edward VIII abdicated in December, and George VI was proclaimed the same day. Fiji, as a Crown Colony, issued coinage under all three reigns that year, making it one of the more direct Commonwealth participants in that constitutional upheaval. This 2010 commemorative marks the 74th anniversary of that sequence.
