Queensryche issued this novelty note as promotional merchandise tied to their touring cycle around the mid-2000s, capitalizing on the enduring cult status of their 1988 concept album Operation: Mindcrime and its 2006 sequel, Operation: Mindcrime II. "Empire" in the title references their 1990 commercial peak, lending the piece a retrospective quality — this is fan merchandise gesturing at a band's entire mythology rather than a single release.
Not legal tender in any jurisdiction. Collected primarily by fans of the band rather than by notaphilists.
