| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in green and features an elaborate symmetrical guilloche composition centred on the bold intaglio denomination inscription 'FIVE SHILLINGS' set within a foliate cartouche of fine lathe-work. To the left, a large circular rosette of intricate engine-turned guilloche lines forms the primary vignette, while a matching plain oval frame occupies the right side. The denomination '5/-' appears in each corner, and the issuer's title 'GOVERNMENT OF FIJI' is displayed in a horizontal banner across the upper centre. |

Fiji retained the pound sterling system well into the postwar decades, and this note circulated through a colonial economy still largely dependent on sugar revenue and indentured-labor demographics that shaped Fijian politics long after formal indenture ended in 1920. The five-shilling denomination sat awkwardly between small change and meaningful purchasing power — useful enough to circulate hard, which is why worn examples dominate the market.
Five signature combinations across eight years reflects genuine administrative turnover in the Currency Board rather than reissue events. Griffiths appears across all five dates, anchoring the series as the one constant signatory through the full run to independence-era monetary reform.
