Interesting fact
The 1892 CC Morgan Dollar coin from Fiji is an interesting piece because it features a unique combination of designs. The obverse (front) side of the coin bears the image of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse (back) side features the Morgan Dollar design, which was originally used on a US dollar coin minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921. This combination of a British monarch on the obverse and a US coin design on the reverse makes for a fascinating blend of numismatic history.
