| Comments |
Prometheus Island has no recognized sovereign existence, no central banking authority, and no record in any standard numismatic catalog. "Georges-Louis Leclerc de Buffon" was an 18th-century French naturalist — his appearance on a 2020 polymer note from a non-existent jurisdiction suggests a novelty or fantasy issue, almost certainly produced for the collector market rather than any genuine monetary purpose.
Nothing verifiable can be added beyond that.
