| Additional information |
Rapa Nui (Easter Island) has no formal monetary authority of its own — Chile administers the island as a special territory under the Valparaíso Region, and the Chilean peso is the only legal tender. These "Rapanui" peso issues are collector-targeted tokens produced under regional or private authorization, not instruments of Chilean national monetary policy, which explains why they circulate nowhere and confuse catalogers who encounter them filed under sovereign issues.
