10 Dollars - Elizabeth II Diamond Wedding

Issued to mark the 60th wedding anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in 2007, this coin was struck the same year Philip became the longest-serving consort in British royal history. Fiji maintained the Queen as head of state following its complicated post-coup constitutional arrangements, making this a product of a particularly fraught moment in Fijian sovereignty — the military government of Frank Bainimarama had seized power just months prior, in December 2006.
