Additional information

Western Sahara has no functioning mint, no recognized government with international consensus, and no circulating coinage — which is precisely why "issues" attributed to it proliferate in the collector market. This piece originates from the wave of licensed fantasy coinages produced in the late 1990s under nominal SADR authority, marketed almost entirely to European collectors and bearing no relationship to any actual monetary system in the territory.
