| Additional information |
Issued in the chaotic weeks following Russia's annexation of Crimea in March 2014, these pieces were produced by private parties capitalizing on the peninsula's ambiguous political status — not by any recognized monetary authority. The "Crimea Republic" never functioned as a sovereign issuer. These are fantasy strikes, made for the collector and souvenir market, with no legal tender status under any jurisdiction.
