| Comments |
Bouvet Island has no permanent population, no economy, and no currency system — it is an uninhabited Norwegian dependency in the South Atlantic, roughly 1,700 kilometers north of Antarctica. Notes issued in its name are fantasy pieces with no legal tender status under any recognized monetary authority. The watermark is a collector affectation, not a security requirement for any circulating instrument.
