| Additional information |
The Pacific Sovereign series was issued by Fiji partly as a bullion vehicle aligned with the one troy ounce fine gold standard, giving the Reserve Bank a product that could compete directly with the Australian Gold Nugget and similar sovereign-weight issues from Pacific-rim mints. Fiji had no meaningful domestic gold mining sector to anchor such a program — the commercial rationale was essentially philatelic and collector-driven from the outset.
KM#136 saw limited pickup in secondary markets outside Australia and New Zealand, where proximity made distribution practical.
