Comment

Fiji re-issued this larger, thicker coin after public complaints that the 2012 issue was too hard to distinguish from the $1 coin. Another change is the Spanish Flower edge, which helps distinguish the $2 coin from the $1 coin, especially for visually impaired people.

Interesting fact

The 2 Dollar coin from Fiji, which was minted in 2014, features a unique design that showcases the country's rich cultural heritage. On the obverse side of the coin, you'll find an image of the Fijian crested iguana, which is an endangered species native to the islands. The reverse side of the coin features the Fijian coat of arms, which includes a shield with the Cross of St. George, a British lion, and a Fijian warrior's spear. The coat of arms is surrounded by a wreath of nariva, which is a traditional Fijian plant used in ceremonial rituals. The inclusion of these symbols highlights Fiji's history, culture, and commitment to preserving its natural heritage.
