The story

The front shows the Kulawai, the red-throated lorikeet, which is endemic to Fiji and its smallest parrot, beside the Kato ni Masima, a traditional woven salt basket, and the national coat of arms. The back shows the Vonu Dina, the endangered green sea turtle, resting among seagrass, a reminder of Fiji’s marine heritage and conservation efforts.
