Tasmania has never issued its own currency — this is a privately produced fantasy or novelty note, not an instrument of any government or authorized banking authority. The "Australian States" designation applied by some catalogs to such items is a collector convenience, not a legal or historical classification. No Australian state has issued banknotes denominated in dollars under its own authority; that function has rested solely with the Reserve Bank of Australia since 1960.
Franck Medina is a French designer known for producing elaborately designed souvenir and fantasy notes sold to collectors. The watermark security feature on items in this category is decorative rather than regulatory.
