A complete set of 6 specimen notes from $2 to $100 all issued in 2007. Like the previous issue (nd2002), these notes are also printed with the portrait of Queen Elizabeth the Second. This is the 26th portrait of the queen used since 1935 and the only one used on these Fijian notes. However, this is also the last series that a British monarch is appearing on the Fijian banknotes. This series has since been replaced by the 2012 issue.

All specimen notes are printed with CA prefix, which is also the first prefix for this series.
