This is one of dozens of nearly identical "world gold coin" collector issues produced for Fiji by the Pobjoy Mint and similar private contractors during the 2000s and 2010s — coins that bear Fiji's authority solely as a licensing arrangement, with no connection to Fijian monetary history. The South African Krugerrand series, which this piece references, was itself born from apartheid-era politics: banned from import by the United States and much of Europe through the 1980s, forcing South Africa to find alternative bullion markets.
The copper-nickel substrate with silver plating places this firmly in the souvenir category rather than the numismatic one.
