备注	The Fiji Banking and Commercial Company was a short-lived colonial institution, incorporated in Sydney and operating in Fiji during the unsettled period before formal British annexation in 1874. That political ambiguity matters here: Fiji had no sovereign government with a functioning treasury, and private banks filled the vacuum. Notes like this one circulated alongside a chaotic mix of colonial scrip, foreign coins, and plantation barter tokens. S. T. Leigh & Co. were primarily commercial printers — jobbing work, stationery, trade forms — not specialist security printers. That background is visible in how these notes were produced, without the intaglio sophistication of a De La Rue or Bradbury Wilkinson contract. Survivors are extremely rare. Pick 19 predates the Cakobau government's own note issues and the entire Crown Colony period.
