备注

Fiji's wartime currency underwent a significant security intervention in 1942: notes of this series were issued with a "FIJI" overprint specifically to prevent Japanese forces from using captured British Pacific currency stocks should they take the islands. The threat was not theoretical — Japanese forces had already moved through the Solomons, and Fiji was a critical Allied logistics hub.

The high denomination made this note particularly sensitive. Large-value wartime issues from Pacific territories in this period are consistently underrepresented in collections, partly because so few entered everyday hands and partly due to wartime destruction of surpluses.
