| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely modelled sea turtle, viewed from above, occupies the central field, its scutes and flippers rendered with naturalistic detail. The legend FIJI arcs above the turtle along the upper periphery, while the denomination SIXPENCE curves along the lower periphery. The date is divided on either side of the turtle, with '19' to the left and the final two digits to the right, all within a beaded border. The overall composition is clean and well-balanced, the turtle serving as a distinctive emblem of the Fijian colonial coinage series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Fiji's wartime sixpences occupy an uncomfortable corner of Pacific monetary history. When Japanese forces swept through the region after December 1941, the Royal New Zealand Mint and the Royal Mint in London faced serious disruption to colonial coinage supply chains. The 1938–1941 window for this type closes precisely at that rupture point.
KM#11 was struck in .500 fine silver, the same reduced standard adopted across most British colonial silver issues following the 1920 Coinage Act's influence on imperial dependencies. London set the precedent; Fiji followed.
