Fiji's 1986 note issue came shortly after the country's tumultuous political shift — the 1987 coups led by Sitiveni Rabuka were still a year away, making this one of the last series issued under the relatively stable pre-coup administration. The Reserve Bank had been issuing its own currency only since 1975, having taken over from the Currency Board system, so this series was still part of the relatively young institution finding its footing.
De La Rue's security provision for this issue was modest — a single watermark, no metallic thread. By the mid-1980s that was already a conservative specification for a $20 denomination.
