Interesting fact

The 1954 Fiji ½ Penny coin features a unique error, known as a "double die" error. This occurs when the die used to strike the coin is misaligned, resulting in a double impression of the design on the coin. This error can be seen on the obverse (front) side of the coin, where the Queen's image appears to be doubled. This error makes the coin highly sought after by collectors and can increase its value significantly.
