FIJI,
    Before the arrival of the Europeans the Fijians had one of those divine king absolute monarchies and a policy of war for the fun of it.  If I'm not mistaken there is this story that they heard of an island of peaceful people 1000 miles away and went out and destroyed that culture, just because it was there, low hanging fruit, as it were.  The coins, even the common ones, are all low mintage, but collector pressure is desultory, so there are bargains to be had.

FIJI, florin K5 1936 toned Unc $150.00
