| Additional information |
Produced in the chaotic weeks following Russia's annexation of Crimea in March 2014, this piece belongs to a wave of fantasy issues that briefly flooded the novelty market capitalizing on the peninsula's ambiguous political status. No "Crimea Republic" ever held monetary authority — the territory was administered under Russian federal law almost immediately — making this a souvenir strike with no legal tender basis anywhere.
