| Additional information |
The 1986 WWF commemorative series was issued across multiple Commonwealth nations to mark the organization's 25th anniversary, with Fiji participating as one of several Pacific island issuers. The Royal Mint coordinated many of these strikes, producing coins to the same .925 silver specification for a range of small-state governments simultaneously — a common arrangement for Commonwealth commemoratives of the period that kept production costs manageable for nations without their own minting infrastructure.
