1 Dollar Koi Fish, colourized

Fiji has served as a convenient issuing authority for foreign coin programs — primarily Australian and New Zealand private mints — since the early 2000s, lending its name to collector pieces that have no meaningful connection to Fijian monetary history. This koi issue is one such piece, produced for the international numismatic novelty market rather than any domestic circulation purpose.

KM#1138.1 suggests a catalogued variety distinction, implying at least one companion piece under the same base number — likely a non-colourized version.
