I think it can only be a Fiji florin and only 1 year option left and I need this coin. I guessed to early.  |

I thought Fiji was under Colonial Authority until 1970?
That's why I thought it was New Zealand, either 1/2 Crown or Florin and took a shot at the highest mintage before 1963.

The NZ coins are out, as they have the Machin image of QEII.
Back to the drawing board on this one.

You are correct igwt79. I should have looked closer. So there should be 5 coins still in play. 1 from Fiji & 4 from NZ, not including proofs. Edited by triggersmob

(coin issued in the 1960's before 1963. |

You are correct sir!
The 50s are out!
One question to narrow it down to 2 options (excluding proofs), then it's a 50/50 gamble.
