| Additional information |
Crimea has no internationally recognized independent monetary authority, and this piece was never legal tender anywhere. Issued in the months following the March 2014 annexation by Russia, it belongs to a well-documented category of fantasy issues produced commercially — typically in Ukraine or Russia — targeting collectors drawn to the political moment rather than any legitimate numismatic institution.
