Fiji King George VI Two Cents

Brief Description

The reverse of the coin features an island scene with a coconut palm tree by the shore and a sailboat in the distance. The words 'TWO CENTS' are at the top and the date '1941' is at the bottom. This particular coin appears to have a center hole that has been filled or was potentially a solid planchet variety.

Historical Significance

Fiji was a British colony during this period. These coins were issued during the reign of King George VI. Due to the pressures of World War II, minting of colonial coinage often underwent material changes or was outsourced. The 1941 two-cent pieces are notable as they reflect Fiji's transition in currency styles during the mid-20th century.

Estimated Value

$1.00 - $10.00 USD, depending on condition and variety

Care Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning the coin with chemicals or abrasive materials, as this can damage the numismatic value. Handle by the edges to prevent oils from skin transferred to the surface.
