| Beschrijving voorzijde | The second portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, sculpted by Arnold Machin, faces right in a youthful, unadorned bust with flowing hair surmounted by a small tiara. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left periphery, while FIJI and the date appear along the right periphery. The queen's bare shoulders and graceful neckline are characteristic of Machin's refined portraiture style. The field is plain, lending focus to the finely detailed royal effigy. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Fiji's coinage during this period was struck at the Royal Mint and, from 1975, increasingly at the Royal Australian Mint in Canberra as Britain wound down its colonial minting relationships. The shift reflected broader economic reallocation rather than any dissatisfaction with output quality. Fiji's independence in 1970 — mid-series — required no immediate redesign, as the colonial portrait coinage was retained by the new government as a pragmatic continuity measure.
Arnold Machin's effigy, introduced across Commonwealth coinages from 1968, appears here in its early years of circulation use.
