| Additional information |
Redonda is an uninhabited Caribbean island of roughly 1.6 square kilometers whose "kingdom" is a self-declared literary conceit originating with the eccentric Irish-Caribbean novelist M.P. Shiel in the late nineteenth century. It has no government, no residents, no currency system, and no monetary authority — making any coin struck in its name a privately produced fantasy piece with no legal tender status anywhere. This example, pressed in colorized steel rather than a conventional coinage alloy, sits firmly in the novelty category.
