The Bank of Good Wishes is a fantasy issuer — no regulatory authority, no monetary system, no legal tender status anywhere. Notes under this label are produced as novelty or gift items, and Matej Gabris, a Slovak designer with a substantial portfolio of fantasy and cinderella banknote artwork, is responsible for several series in this line. The watermark is genuine security paper feature, which is an unusual production choice for a purely decorative piece and suggests these were printed on proper banknote stock rather than commercial paper.
