| Additional information |
A fantasy piece produced to commemorate — or perhaps celebrate — the March 2014 Crimean referendum, which no internationally recognized body accepted as legitimate. These were never issued by any official monetary authority; they exist purely as political objects, manufactured outside any sanctioned mint framework to mark a vote conducted under contested circumstances and military occupation.
