Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases a steam locomotive, known as John Bull, on one side and Queen Elizabeth II on the other. The use of a steam locomotive as a design element is significant because it represents a key aspect of Fiji's history and culture, as the country was heavily reliant on steam locomotives for transportation and industry during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The coin's design serves as a nod to Fiji's rich heritage and serves as a reminder of the country's historical ties to the British Empire, as Queen Elizabeth II is still featured on the obverse side of the coin.
