| Additional information |
The "Abyssinian" name here refers to the Abyssinian cat breed, part of Fiji's ongoing bullion and collector series pairing its sovereign issuing authority with subjects entirely unconnected to the Pacific. Fiji has served as a legal tender vehicle for dozens of such third-party themed issues since the 2000s, a common arrangement between sovereign mints or licensing bodies and private bullion distributors seeking a recognized issuer's imprimatur.
