The E-Sylum: Volume 8, Number 8, February 20, 2005, Article 20 MAINTAINING ROYAL PORTRAITS ON COINS Don Cleveland writes: "I just read the comments about maintaining the Royal Family and the monarch's effigy on coins. Just to confuse the issue of the use of the monarch's effigy on coins and banknotes. Fiji declared itself a Republic on October 6, 1987, severing links with the British crown. Fiji replaced the Queen's Representative, the Governor General, with its own President. Yet, to this day, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's effigy appears on all Fijian coins and banknotes. Fiji is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, but so are several other former British colonies, all of which discontinued using the Queen's effigy upon becoming Republics."
