| Additional information |
Fiji's 1990 constitution — promulgated by the military-backed government of Sitiveni Rabuka following two coups in 1987 — entrenched ethnic Fijian political dominance and effectively disenfranchised the Indo-Fijian population. The Reserve Bank issued commemorative gold pieces during this constitutionally contentious period, a practice common among post-coup Pacific governments seeking to project institutional normalcy to international markets.
At .750 fineness, the alloy sits below the more conventional .900 or .999 used for most international bullion issues — a specification likely driven by cost and local minting constraints rather than any numismatic tradition.
