3 Pence - George VI

正面描述	Bare-headed effigy of King George VI facing left, wearing the Tudor Crown, modelled by Percy Metcalfe, whose initials 'PM' appear below the truncation. The legend encircles the bust along the periphery of the dodecagonal flan, omitting the title 'Emperor' in accordance with the post-1948 royal style. The portrait is rendered in a restrained, neoclassical manner with fine detail in the crown's arches and cross pattée.

附加信息	Fiji's nickel-brass threepence was introduced in 1947 as part of a broader Commonwealth-wide shift away from silver in small denomination coinage — a postwar austerity measure driven by wartime silver depletion and rising metal costs. The distinctive twelve-sided planchet, shared with the British threepence of the same period, was chosen specifically to distinguish it by touch from the similarly sized penny in circulation. George VI's failing health meant the 1952 issue was among the last colonial coins struck in his name before his death in February of that year.
