Banknote Fiji $20 - Fiji Petrel - Bank of Fiji Building - 2026 - AC Series

This 20 Fijian dollar banknote belongs to the AC series, issued in 2026 by the Reserve Bank of Fiji. It continues the tradition of fiduciary issues from the Fiji Islands, whose monetary policy is administered by the national central bank.

The obverse of the banknote features the Fiji Petrel (Pseudobulweria macgillivrayi), an extremely rare seabird endemic to the Fijian archipelago. This species, considered one of the most endangered seabirds in the world, holds an iconic place in the local fauna, and its depiction on this banknote reflects the importance given to biodiversity in Fijian monetary iconography.

The reverse shows the Reserve Bank of Fiji building, an architectural representation of the country's central financial institution. This motif gives the banknote a strong institutional dimension, recalling the role of the Reserve Bank of Fiji in managing national monetary policy.

The face value of this banknote is 20 Fijian dollars, making it an intermediate denomination within the archipelago's monetary system. The Fijian dollar (FJD) has been the official currency of the Republic of Fiji since 1969, replacing the Fijian pound.

This banknote is listed in the numismatic database Numista under the reference 541780, allowing its precise identification within specialised notaphily catalogues.
