| Additional information |
The British Indian Ocean Territory has no permanent civilian population — the Chagossians were expelled between 1968 and 1973 to make way for the Diego Garcia military base — which means any coinage issued in its name is produced purely for collector sale, with zero prospect of domestic circulation. The "Xeros Ceros" denomination is invented wholly for the numismatic market. Pattern designation here signals pre-production status, though for a territory with no economy to speak of, the distinction between pattern and circulation strike is essentially meaningless.
