| Additional information |
Fiji's 1997 wildlife series was part of a broader Pacific island commemorative boom driven by third-party minting programs — primarily through the Perth and Pobjoy mints — that supplied collector-market coins to small nations whose domestic circulation coinage was otherwise unremarkable. The iguana issues specifically targeted the conservation angle: Fiji's crested iguana, Brachylophus vitiensis, had been formally listed as critically endangered since the early 1980s following catastrophic habitat loss on the smaller Fijian islands.
Mintages for these issues were typically capped low by contract, though precise figures for KM#76 are not consistently reported across major references.
