💡 Collector Insights:
This was the last Fijian $2 note to feature Queen Elizabeth II, before her portrait was removed in later issues.
The reverse design is a rare example of children featured prominently on a banknote, making it a favorite for thematic collectors.
A perfect addition to collections focused on Commonwealth currency, Pacific island nations, or youth and education themes.
