| Additional information |
The Isle of Wight has no authority to issue legal tender coinage — this piece is a fantasy issue, produced with no governmental mandate and accepted nowhere as currency. Such items proliferated in the 1990s targeting collectors unfamiliar with the distinction between official coinage and privately struck tokens. The "X#" reference prefix in Krause catalogs designates exactly this category: non-standard, fantasy, or unofficial pieces.
