The 2 Dollar coin from Fiji, which was minted between 2012 and 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 endemic to the islands of Fiji. 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 leaves and a banner with the motto "Fear God and Honour the Queen." This design not only highlights Fiji's natural beauty but also reflects the country's history and cultural identity.
