Government of Fiji – Five Shillings – 1st June 1951 Issue. Attractive early post-war colonial banknote from Fiji featuring King George VI in naval uniform. Printed by Bradbury Wilkinson & Co., England, with classic engraved security detail and ornate reverse design. Issued during the final years of George VI’s reign shortly before the accession of Queen Elizabeth II, making these late colonial Fiji notes increasingly collected today. Serial number B/8 164336 confirms a standard circulation issue rather than a replacement or specimen note. Well-circulated survivor with heavy folds, staining and handling wear, but still displaying strong detail and an appealing portrait. A solid Commonwealth banknote for colonial or Pacific collections.
