1000 Pesetas 1st Hot Air Balloon Flight

Western Sahara has no functioning government with minting authority — the territory has been administered by Morocco since 1976, following Spain's withdrawal and a brief, collapsed agreement under the Madrid Accords. Coins attributed to "Western Sahara" are collector issues produced by private minting operations, with no legal tender status recognized by any governing body actually controlling the territory.

The hot air balloon subject commemorates the Montgolfier brothers' first untethered public flight of June 1783 — a genuine historical milestone, though its connection to Western Sahara is purely commercial.
