| Reverse description | A traditional Maldivian sailing dhow (dhoni) is depicted in the central field, rendered in profile moving left, with a small island visible in the background at left. Below the vessel, colorized tropical fish appear in relief, swimming leftward, adding polychrome decorative interest to the design. The legend BEAUTIFUL MALDIVES curves along the upper periphery, with the denomination 250 and the currency unit RUFIYAA inscribed in the lower field. |

The X# prefix places this squarely in the territory of non-circulating fantasy or pattern issues catalogued outside standard national series — the kind of piece produced primarily for the souvenir and collector trade rather than any monetary function. Maldivian issues of this type proliferated in the 1990s as the tourist economy expanded, and colorized aluminum strikes were a cheap vehicle for that market. The "Beautiful Maldives" branding is promotional, not political.
