In the late 19th century, the British Empire turned its attention to the Pacific Islands, which included Fiji, Vanuatu (then known as New Hebrides), Tonga, Samoa, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Solomon Islands, and Tahiti.
During World War II, many Pacific Islands chiefs aligned their territories with the British Empire, adopting British systems of governance and infrastructure, including their monetary systems.
The British Empire oversaw the minting of coins for the Pacific Islands, a process that began at the Royal Mint in London in 1934 and continued until 1966. Coins produced included the Silver Florin, Shilling, Sixpence, and Cupronickel Penny and Halfpenny.
Due to challenges posed by World War II, such as logistical difficulties and increased demand, the production of Pennies for the Pacific Islands shifted temporarily to San Francisco, Denver, and occasionally back to the Royal Mint in London, after initially starting at the Royal Mint in Australia in 1942.
