Fiji - 1943S 6 Pence - KM #11a - Mintage: 400,000
This coin was minted by the US Mint in San Francisco for circulation in Fiji during World War II. The primary reason these coins were minted was to satisfy the demand for coinage due to the large number of U.S. servicemen stationed in Fiji at the time. The "S" mint mark appears on the reverse of the coin just below the 43 in the date.
