Canoe and Turtle In Designs.
FIJI is to have her own coinage, and the new coins will be put into cir culation at a very early date. They are now being minted in London.
The designs on the reverse are; 2/-, the Fiji coat of arms; 1/-, canoe; 6d., turtle; 1d. and ½d., nickel coins with holes in the centre. There will be no threepenny piece in the new coinage.
The silver content of the silver coins will be precisely that of United King dom coins.
Fiji, hitherto, has had her own bank notes but, for coins, she has, like New Zealand, used the silver and copper currency of Great Britain.
