1 Dollar Year Of The Horse

Fiji's lunar series coins are struck under license and produced almost entirely for the collector market — no meaningful circulation ever occurs. This particular issue corresponds to the Wood Horse year in the sexagenary cycle, a year the Chinese almanac associates with practicality and independence. The Reserve Bank of Fiji has issued commemorative coinage for decades largely as a revenue mechanism, a practice common among smaller Pacific nations whose collector issues far outnumber any domestically circulated equivalent.
