| Obverse description | Printed in brown on white paper, the obverse carries a dual-authority wartime layout in which a kiwi bird vignette above the serial number occupies the left field alongside the New Zealand coat of arms at centre, flanked by bold letterpress "ONE POUND" and "£1" denominations. A guilloche-framed medallion to the right contains a portrait of a Māori chief in traditional dress. The "GOVERNMENT OF FIJI" overprint spans the upper register, with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand promise-to-pay clause, legal tender text, and a manuscript Governor's signature occupying the lower margin. |
