lol. You quoted my auto-correct incorrect correction of 'denomination'.

Oh... but it is OK.
It clear that this only some spelling mismatch.

So the people, who faked this 'coin' were probably afraid to put some value, or even to leave it as "Canada" only. They added 'Fiji'.

Unfortunately Chinese imitations abound and are available on a number of selling sites including aliexpress.com.
People are listing them with 'confusing' descriptions on ebay as below

some collectors are getting excited over a couple September releases along with the odd superman coins, just wait for the influx of the counterfeits. The flea markets will be full of them and our RCM purchases will be bullion value soon. Contact your RCM reps, and stop buying the 100.00 coins until the RCM does some proactive work on this issue. The RCM sends their legal department after individuals for releasing photos, yet they allow the open counterfeiting to continue in front of their nose. The producers did not create these coin to sell in China, the duck coins butterfly, all are coming here.

The RCM can certainly lighten up on the photo aspect, but not sure they can do anything about counterfeiting. Sadly I doubt the RCMP could do anything either.

The RCM owns all the copyrights on all or most of the coins they produce as thus can ask the RCMP and CBSA to enforce Canadian law. The CBSA can not seize coins marked copy at border or mail sorts without the RCM starting a claim, it just seems like the RCM do not care about this issue, only selling more coins.
