| Additional information |
Fiji's 1874 cession to Britain — and the colonial framing of European "discovery" that followed — was itself a contested political act: Ratu Seru Epenisa Cakobau, who signed the deed of cession, led a confederacy that had already repelled multiple European annexation attempts. The 1993 issue falls within a wave of Pacific commemoratives produced for collector export rather than domestic circulation, a revenue strategy the Reserve Bank leaned on heavily through the 1990s.
