Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1937 Fiji 1 Shilling coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Fiji's history. The coin was minted in 1937, just a year before Fiji became a crown colony of the United Kingdom, marking the beginning of a new era in the country's political and economic development. Despite this change, the coin still features the image of King George VI, reflecting Fiji's continued ties to the British monarchy. This coin is a unique piece of history that captures a moment in time when Fiji was transitioning from a tribal society to a modern, colonial state.
