The Darfur Sultanate issues are among the most politically charged numismatic curiosities of the 21st century. Struck while the region was engulfed in a genocide that drew ICC indictment of Sudan's sitting president Omar al-Bashir, these pieces were produced by a claimant authority with no internationally recognized sovereignty — a separatist assertion pressed into brass rather than argued in any recognized forum.
The X# prefix in Krause places it squarely in the category of fantasy or non-circulating local issues, and no evidence suggests these reached general circulation in Darfur itself.
