Papua New Guinea abandoned its own dollar in 1975 upon independence, adopting the kina instead. This piece is a fantasy issue — no such denomination exists or has ever existed in PNG's monetary system. Collector tokens of this type are produced by private mints, typically for the souvenir and novelty market, with no legal tender standing in Papua New Guinea or Australia.
