The Banco de Kamberra is a fantasy issuer — a private creative project producing artist-designed notes that function as collectibles rather than legal tender. The "Numisma" denomination exists nowhere in any monetary system. Franck Medina's series uses the format of currency to pay tribute to cultural figures, Zola being among the more recognizable subjects chosen.
No central bank, no government backing, no circulation history. The appeal is purely in the craft and concept.
