| Additional information |
The rectangular format — uncommon but not unique in modern bullion programs — was a deliberate commercial choice by the New Zealand Mint, which struck this piece under license from the Reserve Bank of Fiji. Fiji's monetary authority has long issued collector coins well outside its domestic circulation needs, effectively leasing its sovereign imprimatur to mint programs targeting the international collector market. The arrangement is entirely routine in the Pacific island issuer space, where numismatic revenue supplements small national budgets.
One kilogram of .9999 fine silver in a kilo bar-adjacent format, but with legal tender status attached.
