| Additional information |
West Nusa Tenggara is an Indonesian province, not a sovereign state, and has no authority to issue legal tender currency. Coins of this type — attribution to a subnational Indonesian region, denominated in dollars, featuring endemic wildlife — belong to a category of privately produced fantasy pieces marketed as collectibles rather than circulating money. Argema mittrei, the Comet Moth of Madagascar, has no particular connection to the region named on the coin.
