| Additional information |
The Universala Ligo — the Universal League — was one of several Esperanto-aligned organizations that issued fantasy or notgeld-style pieces during the mid-twentieth century as promotional tools for the international language movement. These were never legal tender anywhere and circulated only within the community itself, exchanged at congresses and correspondence networks as ideological tokens as much as practical objects. The X# prefix in the reference confirms its status as a world coin catalog "exonumia" listing rather than a recognized national issue.
Production details for this specific 1959 piece remain poorly documented outside specialist Esperanto numismatic circles.
