| Aanvullende informatie |
The Galápagos Islands have no autonomous monetary authority and issue no legal tender recognized by Ecuador, which replaced the sucre with the U.S. dollar in 2000. Coins marketed under a "Galápagos Islands" issuer are privately produced novelty pieces, typically manufactured for the collector market rather than circulation. The X# prefix in Krause confirms this: that catalog series covers fantasy issues and pieces with no governmental backing.
Silver-plated bronze at this weight is a common substrate for such productions, chosen to mimic the heft of a genuine silver crown without the cost.
