| Additional information |
Fiji has issued commemorative gold pieces under Reserve Bank authority since the 1970s, but the Death Mask series from 2010 belongs to a wave of sub-half-gram collector issues that flooded the Pacific island issuer market during that decade — face value nominal, bullion content negligible, profit margin to the issuer substantial. At 0.5 grams, this piece contains less gold than a standard dental inlay.
