Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1940-1941 Fiji ½ Penny coin is that it was minted during World War II, when Fiji was still a British colony. The coin features a portrait of King George VI on one side and a sugar cane plant on the other, symbolizing Fiji's major agricultural industry at the time. Despite its small denomination, the coin was made of copper-nickel, a durable alloy that was commonly used for coinage during that period. Today, this coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with some mint-condition specimens selling for hundreds of dollars.
