| Additional information |
The Sanda Sandaayiri issues of 2010 fall within the broader category of Central African tribal coinage cataloged under Krause's X# series — pieces authorized by local tribal authorities rather than sovereign states, occupying an ambiguous legal and numismatic space that has generated genuine debate among collectors about whether they constitute legitimate indigenous issues or commercially motivated exonumia produced for the collector market.
