| Additional information |
The Coral Sea Islands Territory is an Australian external territory administered from Canberra with a permanent population of zero — a weather station crew rotates through Willis Island, and that is the extent of human habitation. It issues no currency of practical use and has no economy. Coins attributed to it are legal tender in name only, produced exclusively for the collector market under licensing arrangements that exploit the territory's nominal sovereignty.
Moore Reef sits within the Coral Sea roughly 40 kilometres off Cairns. "Paper coloured" silver-plated copper-nickel is not a metallurgical description one encounters in serious numismatic literature for good reason.
