Fantasy notes — "bancnote fanteziste" in Romanian collector circles — occupy a genuine niche in notaphily, distinct from both forgeries and propaganda pieces. They make no claim to legal tender status and are produced openly as collectibles or promotional items. This one is tied to CFR Cluj, the Romanian football club with the most Liga I titles won since 2000, a detail that likely drove the commission.
Dani Crisan is a Romanian graphic designer with documented work in this fantasy note genre. Nothing here pretends to replicate National Bank of Romania security features — which keeps it clearly on the right side of Romanian law governing banknote imitations.
