Description:

Offered in this lot is a 1945 Fiji Penny, a classic British colonial world coin issued during the reign of King George VI. Struck for use in Fiji while under British administration, this coin reflects the global reach of the British Empire during the World War II era.

The obverse features a portrait of King George VI, while the reverse displays the distinctive Fiji penny design with central hole, a practical feature used throughout the Pacific for durability and ease of handling. Coins of this type circulated widely in island economies and are popular with collectors of world coins, colonial coinage, and mid-20th-century history.

This piece shows honest circulation wear consistent with age, adding to its historical character and appeal. An excellent addition to a world coin collection or a great standalone example for collectors interested in British Empire and Pacific Island coinage.
