| Additional information |
Tromelin is an uninhabited French territory in the Indian Ocean administered by the TAAF, and it issues no currency for actual circulation — these pieces are fantasy exonumia produced for the collector market, bearing no legal tender status under any recognized monetary authority. The "Paper colorized" composition designation signals exactly what this is: a brass blank with printed paper laminate, a production method common to novelty issues sold through European coin dealers targeting thematic wildlife collectors.
