| Comments |
The Central Monetary Authority of Fiji was a transitional institution, established in 1973 after Fiji left the sterling area and needed independent monetary management, but not yet a full central bank — that came only with the Reserve Bank of Fiji Act of 1983, which folded the CMA into the new Reserve Bank. Notes issued under the CMA name continued circulating through the mid-1980s, creating the overlap that explains this series' extended date range.
Thomas De La Rue had printed Fijian currency since the colonial period, and the relationship carried through without interruption into independence.
