The Darfur Sultanate issues are among the most politically charged numismatic curiosities of the 21st century. The sultanate has no internationally recognized governing authority — these pieces were produced amid the ongoing Darfur conflict, in which the region's population was experiencing mass displacement and genocide. No functioning mint operated in Darfur itself; production was contracted abroad, making these coins a paper claim to sovereignty rather than instruments of any actual economy.
The X# prefix in standard references signals non-circulating fantasy or semi-official issues, which is precisely what this is.
