| Additional information |
Fiji has issued commemorative coinage for FIFA tournaments since at least the 1994 cycle, part of a broader Pacific island practice of licensing international sporting events for numismatic revenue. The 2006 issue marks the Germany-hosted tournament — the first World Cup held in Germany since 1974, and the first since reunification.
KM# 157 is one of several Fijian silver issues from this series struck by external mints under contract, a common arrangement given the Reserve Bank's limited domestic striking capacity.
