Looks like a newly minted coin, (which it ain't, 1934).
There are only three areas in which to look closely with these to make up your mind on how the grade it: 1) the fields 2) crown. 3) general appearance including the rims.
All three seem to be be completely un marked in this case.
MS65. From the condition, it may have never seen circulation; the best '34 I have seen. I guess the '34 issue saw much more circulation than the '36.
The 1936 holed issues of Edward V111 of the British Empire, which includes the Fijian Penny, also turn up in un marked condition a lot more often than what you may expect.
