| Additional information |
Issued in 2014 following Russia's annexation of Crimea, this piece belongs to a wave of privately produced fantasy issues that flooded the novelty market in the months after the peninsula's disputed incorporation. No monetary authority — Ukrainian, Russian, or otherwise — ever sanctioned a "Crimea Republic" coinage, making this a souvenir item with no legitimate numismatic pedigree.
