A modern fantasy or commemorative piece issued under Mauro Aurelio's Banknote Designs label, printed by Gammaprint in Luzern. These are not legal tender and have never circulated — they occupy the same collector niche as artistic cinderellas, produced with care for the hobbyist market rather than any monetary authority. Gammaprint handles short-run security-style printing for similar projects, which is why the physical production quality tends to exceed what the item's non-official status might suggest.
The "Hawaii Silver Certificate" framing references the genuine WWII-era U.S. overprinted Hawaii notes — a legitimate historical series, but this piece has no connection to that issue beyond the aesthetic homage.
