| Additional information |
Mafia Island is a district of Tanzania, not a sovereign or autonomous monetary authority — it has never issued its own currency. No legitimate numismatic authority recognizes a "Mafia Island" coinage series, and issues attributed to it are fantasy pieces produced for the novelty collector market with no governmental backing.
