| Additional information |
British West Florida existed as a Crown colony from 1763 until its capture by Spanish forces under Bernardo de Gálvez in 1781, yet it has never been formally dissolved under British law — a legal ambiguity that a small number of enthusiasts have exploited to issue "official" coinage under the Dominion name. These pieces carry no recognition from any national government or international monetary authority.
The X# prefix in the reference confirms catalog placement among Unusual World Coins — the standard repository for fantasy issues, local strikes, and pieces with disputed or no governmental authority.
