Fiji's transition from the pound to the decimal dollar system took effect on 13 January 1969, and this note belongs to that inaugural decimal issue — the first time a "dollar" denomination had appeared on Fijian government paper. The changeover required entirely new printing plates rather than redenominated overprints, which De La Rue executed from London under a standing contract that had supplied Fijian currency for decades.
The series was short-lived. Elizabeth II's cypher as issuing authority was superseded when the Reserve Bank of Fiji assumed note-issuing responsibility in 1974, making the entire 1969 government issue a single-run series with no reprints.
