| Additional information |
Part of a broader wave of miniature gem-set issues produced for the novelty collector market around 2010–2014, this piece was struck under Fiji's nominal authority purely as a licensed product — the country itself had no economic stake in its circulation. The embedded amethyst is sourced commercially, not from any Uruguayan deposit, making the Uruguay connection a marketing choice rather than a geographic one.
