| Anmerkungen |
The Fiji Banking and Commercial Company was chartered in the early 1870s to service a colony that was still, technically, independent — Britain did not formally annex Fiji until October 1874. These notes therefore predate Crown rule by months and were issued under a commercial banking licence granted by the indigenous Fijian government. The "Ad-Interim Administration" designation reflects the transitional authority that governed the company's operations during an unusually unstable period of chieftaincy politics and European settler pressure.
W. Cook of Exeter was a provincial printer, not a specialist banknote house. The handwritten denomination blanks were almost certainly a deliberate workaround — avoiding the cost and lead time of engraved plates for each value, and allowing the company to issue whatever amounts the moment required.
