Fantasy notes — privately produced pieces with no legal tender status and no issuing authority with any real existence — occupy a grey zone in the collector market. This one names a fictitious Romanian central bank and carries a 2024 date, placing it squarely in the modern novelty category rather than in any serious numismatic tradition. Dani Crisan is credited as designer, which at least establishes clear artistic provenance.
Not a forgery. Not a test note. Collectible only on its own terms.
