| Additional information |
Fiji has issued commemorative silver rounds under its own authority since the late 20th century, largely as a vehicle for the international bullion collectibles market rather than any domestic monetary purpose. This piece belongs to a broader "Ancient Warriors" series that has cycled through historical archetypes from multiple cultures — a format popular with Perth Mint-style program buyers.
The samurai class was formally abolished by the Meiji government in 1876, following the Haitōrei Edict banning the carrying of swords in public.
